2 Lecture 18 Slide 2 Weak formulation of homogeneous Dirichlet problem Search u H0 1 (Ω) (here, tr u = 0) such that λ u v dx = fv dx v H0 1 (Ω) Then, Ω a(u, v) := Ω Ω λ u v dx is a self-adjoint bilinear form defined on the Hilbert space H0 1(Ω). It is bounded due to Cauchy-Schwarz: a(u, v) = λ u v dx u H 1 0 (Ω) v H 1 0 (Ω) Ω f (v) = Ω fv dx is a linear functional on H1 0 (Ω). For Hilbert spaces V the dual space V (the space of linear functionals) can be identified with the space itself. Lecture 14 Slide 23

3 Lecture 18 Slide 3 The Lax-Milgram lemma Let V be a Hilbert space. Let a : V V R be a self-adjoint bilinear form, and f a linear functional on V. Assume a is coercive, i.e. α > 0 : u V, a(u, u) α u 2 V. Then the problem: find u V such that a(u, v) = f (v) v V admits one and only one solution with an a priori estimate u V 1 α f V Lecture 14 Slide 24

4 Lecture 18 Slide 4 The Galerkin method II Let V be a Hilbert space. Let a : V V R be a self-adjoint bilinear form, and f a linear functional on V. Assume a is coercive with coercivity constant α, and continuity constant γ. Continuous problem: search u V such that a(u, v) = f (v) v V Let V h V be a finite dimensional subspace of V Discrete problem Galerkin approximation: Search u h V h such that a(u h, v h ) = f (v h ) v h V h By Lax-Milgram, this problem has a unique solution as well. Lecture 15 Slide 30

5 Lecture 18 Slide 5 Céa s lemma What is the connection between u and u h? Let v h V h be arbitrary. Then α u u h 2 a(u u h, u u h ) (Coercivity) = a(u u h, u v h ) + a(u u h, v h u h ) = a(u u h, u v h ) (Galerkin Orthogonality) γ u u h u v h (Boundedness) As a result u u h γ α inf v h V h u v h Up to a constant, the error of the Galerkin approximation is the error of the best approximation of the solution in the subspace V h. Lecture 15 Slide 31

6 Lecture 18 Slide 6 From the Galerkin method to the matrix equation Let φ 1... φ n be a set of basis functions of V h. Then, we have the representation u h = n j=1 u jφ j In order to search u h V h such that it is actually sufficient to require a(u h, v h ) = f (v h ) v h V h a(u h, φ i = f (φ i ) (i = 1... n) ( n ) a u j φ j, φ i = f (φ i ) (i = 1... n) j=1 n a(φ j, φ i )u j = f (φ i ) (i = 1... n) j=1 AU = F with A = (a ij ), a ij = a(φ i, φ j ), F = (f i ), f i = F (φ i ), U = (u i ). Matrix dimension is n n. Matrix sparsity? Lecture 15 Slide 32

8 Lecture 18 Slide 8 Barycentric coordinates Let K be a simplex. Functions λ i (i = 0... d): λ i : R d R x λ i (x) = 1 (x a i) n i (a j a i ) n i where a j is any vertex of K situated in F i. For x K, one has 1 (x a i) n i = (a j a i ) n i (x a i ) n i (a j a i ) n i (a j a i ) n i = (a j x) n i = dist(x, F i) (a j a i ) n i dist(a i, F i ) = dist(x, F i) F i /d dist(a i, F i ) F i /d = dist(x, F i) F i K i.e. λ i (x) is the ratio of the volume of the simplex K i (x) made up of x and the vertices of F i to the volume of K. Lecture 16 Slide 22

9 Lecture 18 Slide 9 Polynomial space P k Space of polynomials in x 1... x d of total degree k with real coefficients α i1...i d : Dimension: P k = p(x) = 0 i 1...i d k i 1+ +i d k α i1...i d x i x id d dim P k = ( ) d + k = k k + 1, d = (k + 1)(k + 2), d = 2 (k + 1)(k + 2)(k + 3), d = dim P 1 = d + 1 3, d = 1 dim P 2 = 6, d = 2 10, d = 3 Lecture 16 Slide 24

10 Lecture 18 Slide 10 P k simplex finite elements K: simplex spanned by a 0... a d in R d P = P k, such that s = dim P k For 0 i 0... i d k, i i d = k, let the set of nodes be defined by the points a i1...i d ;k with barycentric coordinates ( i0 k... id k ). Define Σ by σ i1...i d ;k(p) = p(a i1...i d ;k). Lecture 16 Slide 25

11 Lecture 18 Slide 11 Conformal triangulations Let T h be a subdivision of the polygonal domain Ω R d into non-intersecting compact simplices K m, m = 1... n e : Ω = n e m=1 Each simplex can be seen as the image of a affine transformation of a reference (e.g. unit) simplex K: K m K m = T m ( K) We assume that it is conformal, i.e. if K m, K n have a d 1 dimensional intersection F = K m K n, then there is a face F of K and renumberings of the vertices of K n, K m such that F = T m ( F ) = T n ( F ) and T m F = T n F Lecture 16 Slide 32

12 Lecture 18 Slide 12 Conformal triangulations II d = 1 : Each intersection F = K m K n is either empty or a common vertex d = 2 : Each intersection F = K m K n is either empty or a common vertex or a common edge d = 3 : Each intersection F = K m K n is either empty or a common vertex or a common edge or a common face Delaunay triangulations are conformal Lecture 16 Slide 33

13 H 1 -Conformal approximation using Lagrangian finite elemenents Approximation spacev h with zero jumps at element faces: V h = {v h C 0 (Ω) : m, v h Km P k } Zero jumps at interfaces: n, m, K m K n 0 (v h Km ) Km K n = (v h Kn ) Km K n V h H 1 (Ω). Lecture 18 Slide 13

14 Lecture 18 Slide 14 Zero jump at interfaces with Lagrangian finite elements Assume geometrically conformal mesh Assume all faces of K have the same number of nodes s For any face F = K 1 K 2 there are renumberings of the nodes of K 1 and K 2 such that for i = 1... s, a K1,i = a K2,i Then, v h K1 and v h K2 match at the interface K 1 K 2 if and only if they match at the common nodes v h K1 (a K1,i) = v h K2 (a K2,i) (i = 1... s ) Lecture 17 Slide 23

15 Lecture 18 Slide 15 Global degrees of freedom Let {a 1... a N } = {a K,1... a K,s } K T h Degree of freedom map j : T h {1... s} {1... N} (K, m) j(k, m) the global degree of freedom number Global shape functions φ 1,..., φ N W h defined by φ i K (a K,m ) = { δ mn if n {1... s} : j(k, n) = i 0 otherwise Global degrees of freedom γ 1,..., γ N : V h R defined by γ i (v h ) = v h (a i ) Lecture 17 Slide 24

16 Lecture 18 Slide 16 Lagrange finite element basis {φ 1,..., φ N } is a basis of V h, and γ 1... γ N is a basis of L(V h, R). Proof: {φ 1,..., φ N } are linearly independent: if N j=1 α jφ j = 0 then evaluation at a 1... a N yields that α 1... α N = 0. Let v h V h. It is single valued in a 1... a N. Let w h = N j=1 v h(a j )φ j. Then for all K T h, v h K and w h K coincide in the local nodes a K,1... a K,2, and by unisolvence, v h K = w h K. Lecture 17 Slide 25

20 Lecture 18 Slide 20 Shape regularity Now we discuss a family of meshes T h for h 0. We want to estimate global interpolation errors and see how they possibly diminuish For given T h, assume that h = max K Th h j A family of meshes is called shape regular if In 1D, σ K = 1 In 2D, σ K 2 sin θ K h, K T h, σ K = h K ρ K σ 0 where θ K is the smallest angle Lecture 17 Slide 37

21 Lecture 18 Slide 21 Error estimates for homogeneous Dirichlet problem Search u H0 1 (Ω) such that Ω λ u v dx = Ω fv dx v H 1 0 (Ω) Then, lim h 0 u u h 1,Ω = 0. If u H 2 (Ω) (e.g. on convex domains) then u u h 1,Ω ch u 2,Ω u u h 0,Ω ch 2 u 2,Ω Under certain conditions (convex domain, smooth coefficients) one has u u h 0,Ω ch u 1,Ω ( Aubin-Nitsche-Lemma ) Lecture 17 Slide 40

22 Lecture 18 Slide 22 H 2 -Regularity u H 2 (Ω) may be not fulfilled e.g. if Ω has re-entrant corners if on a smooth part of the domain, the boundary condition type changes if problem coefficients (λ) are discontinuos Situations differ as well between two and three space dimensions Delicate theory, ongoing research in functional analysis Consequence for simuations Deterioration of convergence rate Remedy: local refinement of the discretization mesh using a priori information using a posteriori error estimators + automatic refinement of discretizatiom mesh Lecture 17 Slide 41

26 Matching of approximation order and quadrature order Variational crime : instead of we solve a(u h, v h ) = f (v h ) v h V h a h (u h, v h ) = f h (v h ) v h V h where a h, f h are derived from their exact counterparts by quadrature For P 1 finite elements, zero order quadrature for volume integrals and first order quadrature for surface intergals is sufficient to keep the convergence order estimates stated before The rule of thumb for the volume quadrature is that the highest order terms must be evaluated exactly if the coefficients of the PDE are constant.

Barycentric coordinates: λ j (a) = Kj (a) K For indexing modulo d+1 we can write K = 1 d! det ( a j+1 a j,... a j+d a j ) K j (a) = 1 d! det ( a j+1 a,... a j+d a ) From this information, we can calculate explicitely λ j (x) (which are constant vectors due to linearity) and the corresponding entries of the local stiffness s ij = λ i λ j dx K Lecture 18 Slide 29
