2 Monodomain Equations for Electrophysiology Numerical approximation of solutions to the monodomain equations allows the simulation of electrical propagation on patient-specific cardiac geometries. v = transmembrane potential u = extracellular potential s = state of ionic currents F(v, s) = voltage-dependent state update I(v, s) = ionic current across membrane Find u, v : Ω R such that ds = F(s, v) dt in Ω λ 1 + λ (M i v) = v t + I(v, s) in Ω λ (M i v) = (M i u) in Ω (M i v) ˆn = 0 on Ω (M i u) ˆn = 0 on Ω M i, M e = intra-, extra-cellular conductivity tensors, satisfying M e = λm i Andrew Gillette - UCSD ( )Serendipity FEM for EP Simula - May / 26

3 Application Motivations and Challenges Scientific and clinical motivations: Provide models of electrical activity at spatial and temporal resolutions beyond MRI and EKG data. Allow patient-specific modeling for real-time simulations during surgery. Analyze spiral waves that occur during atrial fibrillation: [ show videos ] Competing theories of the biophysical nature of this phenomenon have been proposed; computational simulations and mathematical analysis can provide evidence for or against treatment strategies (e.g. where to cauterize heart cells) Andrew Gillette - UCSD ( )Serendipity FEM for EP Simula - May / 26

4 Application Motivations and Challenges Computational challenges: Survey of various codes on a benchmark problem revealed large discrepancies in the estimation of activation time, a basic measure of accuracy. In the application context, Péclet number = k h2 6 D = (reaction rate) (mesh element length)2 6 (diffusivity constant) which can lead to Gibbs type phenomena of spurious oscillations. This can be overcome either by using many mesh elements (small h values) or higher order methods, both of which can be computationally expensive. Using different functions for geometry and function approximation is expensive; unified methods are needed. Serendipity finite element methods help address these challenges. > 1 Andrew Gillette - UCSD ( )Serendipity FEM for EP Simula - May / 26

7 What is a serendipity finite element method? Goal: Efficient, accurate approximation of the solution to a PDE over Ω R n. Standard O(h r ) tensor product finite element method in R n : Mesh Ω by n-dimensional cubes of side length h. Set up a linear system involving (r + 1) n degrees of freedom (DoFs) per cube. For unknown continuous solution u and computed discrete approximation u h : u u h H 1 (Ω) C h r u H }{{} r+1 (Ω), u H r+1 (Ω). }{{} approximation error optimal error bound A O(h r ) serendipity FEM converges at the same rate with fewer DoFs per element: O(h) O(h 2 ) O(h 3 ) O(h) O(h 2 ) O(h 3 ) tensor product elements serendipity elements Example: For O(h 3 ), d = 3, 50% fewer DoFs 50% smaller linear system Andrew Gillette - UCSD ( )Serendipity FEM for EP Simula - May / 26

8 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.
