2 What are a priori FEM error estimates? Poisson s equation in 2D: Given a domain D R 2 and f : D R, find u such that strong form u = f u H 2 (D) weak form u φ = f φ φ H 1 (D) discrete form D D u h φ h = Typical finite element method: D D f φ h φ h V h finite dimen. H 1 (D) Mesh D by polygons {Ω} with vertices {v i }; define h := max diam(ω). Fix basis functions λ i with local piecewise support, e.g. barycentric functions. Define u h such that it uses the λ i to approximate u, e.g. u h := i u(v i)λ i A linear system for u h can then be derived, admitting an a priori error estimate: u u h H 1 (Ω) C h p u H }{{} 2 (Ω), u H p+1 (Ω), }{{} approximation error optimal error bound provided that the λ i span all degree p polynomials on each polygon Ω.

3 Modern applications require new theory u u h H 1 (Ω) C h p u H 2 (Ω), u H2 (Ω) Modern applications such as patient-specific cardiac electrophysiology need efficient, stable, error-bounded real-time methods. These methods require both accurate geometry approximation (small h) and accurate function approximation (large p), but both are computationally expensive. Two trends in Finite Element Methods research can help: 1 Polygonal & polyhedral generalized barycentric coordinate FEM Greater geometric flexibility from polygonal meshing can alleviate known difficulties with simplicial and cubical elements. 2 Serendipity finite element methods Long observed but only recently formalized theory ensuring order p function approximation with many fewer basis functions than expected.

We call functions λ i : Ω R generalized barycentric coordinates (GBCs) if they satisfy: λ i 0 on Ω L = n L(v i )λ i, i=1 L : Ω R linear Familiar properties are implied by this definition: n n λ i 1 v i λ i (x) = x i=1 }{{} partition of unity i=1 } {{ } linear precision λ i (v j ) = δ ij }{{} interpolation traditional FEM family of GBC reference elements Bilinear Map Unit Diameter Affine Map T Reference Element Physical Element T Ω Ω Andrew Gillette - UCSD Polygonal ( ) & Serendipity FEM SMU - Feb / 45

11 Optimal Convergence Estimates on Polygons Let Ω be a convex polygon with vertices v 1,..., v n. For linear elements, an optimal convergence estimate has the form n u u(v i )λ i C diam(ω) u H 2 (Ω), u H 2 (Ω). (1) i=1 H }{{ 1(Ω) }{{}} optimal error bound approximation error The Bramble-Hilbert lemma in this context says that any u H 2 (Ω) is close to a first order polynomial in H 1 norm. VERFÜRTH, A note on polynomial approximation in Sobolev spaces, Math. Mod. Num. An., DEKEL, LEVIATAN, The Bramble-Hilbert lemma for convex domains, SIAM J. Math. An., For (1), it suffices to prove an H 1 -interpolant estimate over domains of diameter one: n u(v i )λ i C I u H 2 (Ω), u H1 (Ω). (2) H 1(Ω) i=1 For (2), it suffices to bound the gradients of the {λ i }, i.e. prove C λ R such that λ i L 2 (Ω) C λ. (3) Andrew Gillette - UCSD Polygonal ( ) & Serendipity FEM SMU - Feb / 45

12 Geometric Hypotheses for Convergence Estimates v1 v1 To bound the gradients of the coordinates, we need control of the element geometry. Let ρ(ω) denote the radius of the largest inscribed circle. The aspect ratio γ is defined by γ = diam(ω) ρ(ω) (2, ) Three possible geometric conditions on a polygonal mesh: G1. BOUNDED ASPECT RATIO: γ < such that γ < γ G2. MINIMUM EDGE LENGTH: d > 0 such that v i v i 1 > d G3. MAXIMUM INTERIOR ANGLE: β < π such that β i < β Andrew Gillette - UCSD Polygonal ( ) & Serendipity FEM SMU - Feb / 45

13 A key geometric proposition Proposition Suppose G1 (max aspect ratio γ ) and G2 (min edge length d ) hold. Define h := d 2γ (1 + d ) > 0 Then for all x Ω, B(x, h ) does not intersect any two non-adjacent edges of Ω. Proof: Suppose B(x, h) intersects two non-adjacent edges for some h > 0. The wedge W formed by these edges can be used to show that either G1 fails (contradiction) or h > h. Andrew Gillette - UCSD Polygonal ( ) & Serendipity FEM SMU - Feb / 45

14 Gradient bound for mean value coordinates x αi αi 1 vi 1 ri vi+1 Theorem vi The mean value coordinates are defined by λ MV w i (x) i (x) := n j=1 w j(x) tan w i (x) := ( αi (x) 2 ) + tan v i x ( αi 1 (x) Suppose G1 (max aspect ratio γ ) and G2 (min edge length d ) hold. Let λ i be the mean value coordinates. Then there exists C λ > 0 such that λ i H 1 (Ω) C λ 2 ) Proof: Divide analysis into six cases based on proximity to v a and size of α i and α j r a v a Case 1/2 x v i (Case 1) v j (Case 2) α i/α j v a Case 3/4 r a x v i (Case 3) v j (Case 4) α i/α j Case 5 v j r a v a x α j α i Case 6 v j v a r a x α j α i v i v i Andrew Gillette - UCSD Polygonal ( ) & Serendipity FEM SMU - Feb / 45

17 From linear to quadratic elements A naïve quadratic element is formed by products of linear GBCs: {λ i } pairwise products {λ aλ b } Why is this naïve? For an n-gon, this construction gives n + ( n 2) basis functions λaλ b The space of quadratic polynomials is only dimension 6: {1, x, y, xy, x 2, y 2 } Conforming to a linear function on the boundary requires 2 degrees of freedom per edge only 2n functions needed! Problem Statement Construct 2n basis functions associated to the vertices and edge midpoints of an arbitrary n-gon such that a quadratic convergence estimate is obtained. Andrew Gillette - UCSD Polygonal ( ) & Serendipity FEM SMU - Feb / 45

18 Polygonal Quadratic Serendipity Elements We define matrices A and B to reduce the naïve quadratic basis. filled dot = Lagrangian domain point = all functions in the set evaluate to 0 except the associated function which evaluates to 1 open dot = non-lagrangian domain point = partition of unity satisfied, but not Lagrange property {λ i } n pairwise products {λ aλ b } n + ( ) n 2 A {ξ ij } 2n B {ψ ij } Linear Quadratic Serendipity Lagrange 2n Andrew Gillette - UCSD Polygonal ( ) & Serendipity FEM SMU - Feb / 45

19 From quadratic to serendipity The bases are ordered as follows: ξ ii and λ aλ a = basis functions associated with vertices ξ i(i+1) and λ aλ a+1 = basis functions associated with edge midpoints λ aλ b = basis functions associated with interior diagonals, i.e. b / {a 1, a, a + 1} Serendipity basis functions ξ ij are a linear combination of pairwise products λ aλ b : ξ ii. ξ i(i+1) = A λ aλ a. λ aλ a+1. λ aλ b = c11 11 cab 11 c 11 (n 2)n c ij 11 c ij ab c ij (n 2)n c n(n+1) 11 c n(n+1) ab c n(n+1) (n 2)n λ aλ a. λ aλ a+1. λ aλ b Andrew Gillette - UCSD Polygonal ( ) & Serendipity FEM SMU - Feb / 45

20 From quadratic to serendipity We require the serendipity basis to have quadratic approximation power: Constant precision: 1 = ξ ii + 2ξ i(i+1) i Linear precision: x = v i ξ ii + 2v i(i+1) ξ i(i+1) i Quadratic precision: xx T = v i v T i ξ ii + (v i v T i+1 + v i+1 v T i )ξ i(i+1) i ξ b(b+1) ξ bb ξ b(b 1) Theorem Constants {cij ab } exist for any convex polygon such that the resulting basis {ξ ij } satisfies constant, linear, and quadratic precision requirements. ξ a(a 1) ξ aa ξ a(a+1) λ a λ b Proof: We produce a coefficient matrix A with the structure A := [ I A ] where A has only six non-zero entries per column and show that the resulting functions satisfy the six precision equations.

21 Pairwise products vs. Lagrange basis Even in 1D, pairwise products of barycentric functions do not form a Lagrange basis at interior degrees of freedom: 1 λ 0 λ 0 λ 1 λ 1 1 ψ 00 ψ 11 ψ01 λ 0 λ 1 Pairwise products 1 Lagrange basis 1 Translation between these two bases is straightforward and generalizes to the higher dimensional case.

27 Serendipity Spaces on Cubes in R d Tensor product methods on cubical meshes in R d are well known, but serendipity methods will converge at the same rate with fewer basis functions per element: tensor product elements O(h) O(h 2 ) O(h 3 ) O(h) O(h 2 ) O(h 3 ) serendipity elements Example: For O(h 3 ), d = 3, 50% fewer functions 50% smaller linear system Many modern applications use tensor product elements, often due to ease of implementation. Serendipity elements can reduce computation time, but implementation requires a geometric decomposition. Andrew Gillette - UCSD Polygonal ( ) & Serendipity FEM SMU - Feb / 45

28 What is a geometric decomposition? A geometric decomposition for a finite element space is an explicit correspondence: {1, x, y, x 2, y 2, xy, x 3, y 3, x 2 y, xy 2, x 3 y, xy 3 } {ϑ 11, ϑ 14, ϑ 41, ϑ 44, ϑ 12, ϑ 13, ϑ 42, ϑ 43, ϑ 21, ϑ 31, ϑ 24, ϑ 34 } monomials basis functions domain points Previously known basis functions employ Legendre polynomials These functions bear no symmetrical correspondence to the domain points 1 (x 1)(y 1) ( x 2 1 ) (y 1) 1 5 x ( x 2 1 ) (y 1) 4 2 vertex edge (quadratic) edge (cubic) SZABÓ AND I.
