2 Motivation discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (dpg) methods invented by L. Demkowicz, J. Gopalakrishnan (2010) motivated by search for optimal test functions dpg can be viewed as mixed method with nonstandard test space (typically broken test functions) or minimal residual method main idea: too many test functions ensure an inf-sup condition, let computer handle redundant dofs applications: linear elasticity, Stokes equations, Maxwell,...

11 The Continuous Problem Suppose that the problem x X : b(x, ) = F in Y is well-posed with unique solution. F. Hellwig 5/27

12 The Continuous Problem Suppose that the problem x X : b(x, ) = F in Y is well-posed with unique solution. The standard theory on mixed finite element methods [Boffi, Brezzi, Fortin] shows that this is equivalent to the inf-sup condition 0 < β := inf sup x S(X ) y S(Y ) b(x,y ) (H1) and non-degeneracy {0} = N := {y Y b(,y ) = 0 in X }. F. Hellwig 5/27

13 The Discrete Problem? Question: How to discretize this problem? F. Hellwig 6/27

14 The Discrete Problem? Question: How to discretize this problem? For any chosen finite-dimensional subspaces X h X, Y h Y, the well-posedness of the discrete problem x h X h : b(x h, ) = F in Y h is equivalent to the discrete inf-sup condition 0 < β h := inf sup x h S(X h ) y h S(Y h ) b(x h,y h ) (H2) and non-degeneracy {0} = N h := {y h Y h b(,y h ) = 0 in X h }. F. Hellwig 6/27

15 The Discrete Problem? (2) 0 < β h := inf sup x h S(X h ) y h S(Y h ) b(x h,y h ) {0} = N h := {y h Y h b(,y h ) = 0 in X h } Spaces X h and Y h need to be well-balanced to satisfy these two conditions. For fixed X h, a big Y h makes it easier to satisfy discrete inf-sup condition but harder to guarantee discrete non-degeneracy. F. Hellwig 7/27

16 Trial-to-Test-Operator The idea of discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin methods (dpg methods): choose only the discrete trial space X h X, compute a discrete test space Y with (H2) and non-degeneracy. F. Hellwig 8/27

17 Trial-to-Test-Operator The idea of discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin methods (dpg methods): choose only the discrete trial space X h X, compute a discrete test space Y with (H2) and non-degeneracy. Define the trial-to-test-operator T : X Y by (Tx,y ) Y = b(x,y ) for any y Y. F. Hellwig 8/27

18 Trial-to-Test-Operator The idea of discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin methods (dpg methods): choose only the discrete trial space X h X, compute a discrete test space Y with (H2) and non-degeneracy. Define the trial-to-test-operator T : X Y by (Tx,y ) Y = b(x,y ) for any y Y. For a fixed choice of discrete trial space X h X the idealized dpg method utilizes the discrete test space T (X h ) Y. F. Hellwig 8/27

30 A priori estimate Theorem Suppose (H1) and (H2) hold. Then the solution x h X h to the practical dpg method satisfies x x h X b β h min x ξ h X. ξ h X h F. Hellwig 10/27

31 A posteriori estimate for idealized dpg Idealized dpg method has built-in a posteriori estimate β x x h X b(x h, ) F Y b x x h X, i.e. x x h X b(x h, ) F Y. Is such an estimate possible for the practical dpg method as well? F. Hellwig 11/27

32 Fortin Operator For an a posteriori estimate of the practical dpg method, we need some Fortin operator Π : Y Y h. Existence of Π : Y Y h linear and bounded projection with b(x h, (1 Π)Y ) = 0 (H3) F. Hellwig 12/27

33 Fortin Operator For an a posteriori estimate of the practical dpg method, we need some Fortin operator Π : Y Y h. Existence of Π : Y Y h linear and bounded projection with b(x h, (1 Π)Y ) = 0 Lemma Suppose (H1) holds. Then (H2) and (H3) are equivalent. (H3) F. Hellwig 12/27

34 Fortin Operator For an a posteriori estimate of the practical dpg method, we need some Fortin operator Π : Y Y h. Existence of Π : Y Y h linear and bounded projection with b(x h, (1 Π)Y ) = 0 Lemma Suppose (H1) holds. Then (H2) and (H3) are equivalent. Proof. (H3) = (H2). (H3) F. Hellwig 12/27

35 Fortin Operator For an a posteriori estimate of the practical dpg method, we need some Fortin operator Π : Y Y h. Existence of Π : Y Y h linear and bounded projection with b(x h, (1 Π)Y ) = 0 Lemma Suppose (H1) holds. Then (H2) and (H3) are equivalent. (H3) Proof. (H3) = (H2). Continuity of Π implies 1/ y Y Π / Πy Y and (H1) shows 0 < β inf Π sup x h S(X h ) y Y,y 0 inf sup b(x h,y ) y Y Π inf b(x h,y h ) y h Y. sup x h S(X h ) y Y,y 0 b(x h,πy ) Πy Y x h S(X h ) y h Y h,y h 0 F. Hellwig 12/27

36 Fortin Operator (2) Lemma Suppose (H1) holds. Then (H2) and (H3) are equivalent. Proof. (H2) = (H3). F. Hellwig 13/27

37 Fortin Operator (2) Lemma Suppose (H1) holds. Then (H2) and (H3) are equivalent. Proof. (H2) = (H3). Condition (H2) and non-degeneracy imply that B : T h (X h ) X h,btx h := b(,tx h ) is an isomorphism. Let G : Y X h,gy := b(,y ). Define Π := B 1 G : Y T h (X h ) linear and bounded. Π(Tx h ) = B 1 b(,tx h ) = B 1 BTx h = Tx h y Y satisfies b(,y ) = G (y ) = B (Πy ) = b(,πy ) in X h F. Hellwig 13/27

38 A posteriori estimate Theorem Suppose (H1) and (H3) hold. Then any ξ h X h satisfies β x x h X Π b(x h, ) F Y + F (1 Π) Y h 2 b Π x x h X. F. Hellwig 14/27

39 A posteriori estimate Theorem Suppose (H1) and (H3) hold. Then any ξ h X h satisfies β x x h X Π b(x h, ) F Y + F (1 Π) Y h 2 b Π x x h X. Proof. (H1) and (H3) imply β x x h X F b(ξ h, ) Y F b(ξ h, ) Y sup y S(Y ) F ((1 Π)y ) + sup y S(Y ) and F (Πy ) b(ξ h,πy ). F. Hellwig 14/27

40 A posteriori estimate Theorem Suppose (H1) and (H3) hold. Then any ξ h X h satisfies β x x h X Π b(x h, ) F Y + F (1 Π) Y h 2 b Π x x h X. Proof. (H1) and (H3) imply β x x h X F b(ξ h, ) Y F b(ξ h, ) Y sup y S(Y ) F ((1 Π)y ) + sup y S(Y ) and F (Πy ) b(ξ h,πy ). Second estimate follows from continuity of b, Π = 1 Π and F ((1 Π)y ) = b(x, (1 Π)y ) = b(x ξ h, (1 Π)y ). F. Hellwig 14/27

41 Computation of dpg Solution {Φ 1,...,Φ J } basis of X h {Ψ 1,...,Ψ K } basis of Y h A R K J, A kj := b(φ j,ψ k ), k = 1,...,K, j = 1,...,J, matrix for bilinear form M R K K, M kl := (Ψ k,ψ l ) Y, k,l = 1,...,K, matrix for scalar product on Y b R K, b k := F (Ψ k ), k = 1,...,K, vector for right-hand side For x R J coefficient vector for solution x h = J j=1 x j Φ j, the linear system of equation reads A M 1 Ax = A M 1 b. Bigger Y h guarantees inf-sup condition, but computation will be more expensive! Concept of broken test functions leads to block-diagonal M. F. Hellwig 15/27

56 Duality lemma Theorem Any t H 1/2 ( T ) satisfies t H 1/2 ( T ) t,v T sup. v H 1 (T ),v 0 v H 1 (T ) F. Hellwig 22/27

57 Duality lemma Theorem Any t H 1/2 ( T ) satisfies t H 1/2 ( T ) t,v T sup. v H 1 (T ),v 0 v H 1 (T ) Proof. Let v H 1 (T ) on each T T weak solution to v + v = 0 in T and v ν = t T on T. With q := NC v H(div, Ω), it holds t H 1/2 ( T ) q H(div), div q = v, and q H(div) = v H 1 (T ). Integration by parts shows t,v T = (q, NC v ) Ω + (div q,v ) Ω = q 2 H(div). F. Hellwig 22/27

58 Inf-Sup Condition Theorem The spaces X := H 1 0 (Ω) H 1/2 ( T ), Y := H 1 (T ) and the bilinear form b : X Y, b(u,t; v ) := ( u, NC v ) Ω t,v T satisfy (H1). F. Hellwig 23/27

The Friedrichs inequality implies u L 2 (Ω) ( u, v ) Ω sup v H0 1(Ω),v 0 v H 1 (T ) b(u,t; v ) = sup. v H0 1(Ω),v 0 v H 1 (T ) The duality lemma and the triangle inequality show t H 1/2 ( T ) b(u,t; v ) sup + sup v Y,v 0 v H 1 (T ) v Y,v 0 ( u, NC v ) Ω. v H 1 (T ) F. Hellwig 23/27

60 Discretization Recall X = H0 1 (Ω) H 1/2 ( T ), Y = H 1 (T ). The discrete spaces read X h := S0 1 (T ) P 0(E) X, Y h := P 1 (T ) Y. F. Hellwig 24/27

61 Discrete Inf-Sup Condition Theorem The discrete spaces X h and Y h satisfy (H2). F. Hellwig 25/27

62 Discrete Inf-Sup Condition Theorem The discrete spaces X h and Y h satisfy (H2). Proof. given x h = (u C,t 0 ) X h, let q RT RT 0 (T ), γ T ν (q RT ) = t 0 choose v 1 = div q RT + ( u C Π 0 q RT ) ( mid(t )) Y h integration by parts shows b(u C,t 0 ; v 1 ) = ( u C q RT, NC v 1 ) Ω (div q RT,v 1 ) Ω = u C Π 0 q RT 2 L 2 (Ω) + div q RT 2 L 2 (Ω) Since P 0 (T ) is orthogonal to ( mid(t )) in L 2 (Ω), v 1 2 H 1 (T ) (1 + h2 max)b(u C,t 0 ; v 1 ). F. Hellwig 25/27

63 Discrete Inf-Sup Condition (2) Proof. recall b(u C,t 0 ; v 1 ) = u C Π 0 q RT 2 L 2 (Ω) + div q RT 2 L 2 (Ω) Helmholtz decomposition leads to α C S0 1 (T ), β CR CR 1 (T ) with u C Π 0 q RT = α C + Curl NC β CR. Orthogonality in Helmholtz and integration by parts shows (u C α C ) 2 L 2 (Ω) = ( (u C α C ),q RT ) Ω = (u C α C,div q RT ) Ω (u C α C ) L 2 (Ω) div q RT L 2 (Ω). triangle inequality implies u C L 2 (Ω) (u C α C ) L 2 (Ω) + α C L 2 (Ω) div q RT L 2 (Ω) + u C Π 0 q RT L 2 (Ω) b(u C,t 0 ; v 1 ) 1/2 and t 0 H 1/2 ( T ) q RT H(div) Π 0 q RT L 2 (Ω) + div q RT L 2 (Ω) b(u C,t 0 ; v 1 ) 1/2. F. Hellwig 26/27
