4 Motivation Features of the method Approximation properties Finite element implementation with Lagrange multipliers The finite element method is the most widely used method for solving numerically partial differential equations A collection of methods falls under the designation f.e.m. Model problem { u = f in Ω u = g on Ω where Ω will denote the boundary of the bounded domain Ω and denotes the Laplace operator, = n i=1 2. xi 2 Green s identity Ω ( div u)v dx = Ω u u v dx Ω ν v.

Requirements for conforming approximations Let k 1 and suppose Ω is bounded. Then a piecewise infinitely differentiable function v : Ω R belongs to H k (Ω) if and only if v C k 1 (Ω). Even in two dimensions, conforming finite element spaces can be very complicated and there are no satisfactory answer in three dimesnions. Nonconforming approximations are not very popular.

12 Motivation Features of the method Approximation properties V h = {c R N, Rc = 0}, W h = {c R N, Rc = G} The condition a(u, v) = l, v for all v V h becomes K (c)d = L T d d V h, that is for all d with Rd = 0 K (c, c) + λ T R = L T. [ K T R T R 0 ] [ c λ ] = [ L G ]

13 Motivation Features of the method Approximation properties V h = {c R N, Rc = 0}, W h = {c R N, Rc = G} The condition a(u, v) = l, v for all v V h becomes K (c)d = L T d d V h, that is for all d with Rd = 0 K (c, c) + λ T R = L T. [ K T R T R 0 ] [ c λ ] = [ L G ]

14 Advantages of the method Motivation Features of the method Approximation properties Can be applied to a wide range of PDEs in science and engineering in both two and three dimensions. Constraints and Smoothness are enforced exactly and there is no need to implement basis functions with the required properties. Particularly suitable for higher order PDEs. No inf-sup condition One gets in a single implementation approximations of variable order. The mass and stiffness matrices are assembled easily and this can be done in parallel. Easy implementation of p-adaptive approximation and simplicity of a posteriori error estimate

22 Uniform refinement of a tetrahedron Numerical methods for saddle point problems ( A L T L 0 ) ( c λ λ (l+1) ) = [ F G Assume the system above has a unique solution c. ( ) [ ] [ ] A L T c (l+1) F = L ɛi G ɛλ (l), (2) where λ (0) is a suitable initial guess e.g. λ (0) = 0, Assume that A s = 1 2 (A + AT ) the symmetric part of A is positive definite with respect to L, i.e., x T A s x 0 and x T A s x = 0 with Lx = 0 implies x = 0. Then, the sequence (c (l+1) ) defined by the iterative method converges to the solution c for any ɛ > 0. Furthermore, c c (l+1) Cɛ c c (l) for some constant C independent of ɛ and l. ],

23 Uniform refinement of a tetrahedron Numerical methods for saddle point problems Ac (l+1) + L T λ (l+1) = F and (1) Lc (l+1) ɛλ (l+1) = G ɛλ (l) (2). Multiplying (2) on the left by L T and substituing L T λ (l+1) into (1) and rewriting (2), we get (A + 1 ɛ LT L)c (l+1) = L T λ (l) + F + 1 ɛ LT G (3) λ (l+1) + 1 ɛ Lc(l+1) = λ (l) + 1 ɛ G. A + 1 ɛ LT L is invertible (A + 1 ɛ LT L)x = 0 x = 0.

24 Uniform refinement of a tetrahedron Numerical methods for saddle point problems 0 = x T (A + 1 ɛ LT L)x = x T (A s + 1 ɛ LT L)x = x T A s x + 1 ɛ (Lx)T (Lx) It follows that x T A s x = 0 and (Lx) T (Lx) = 0. so x = 0. c (l+1) converges to c Put u (l+1) = c (l+1) c and p (l+1) = λ (l+1) λ { (A + 1 ɛ LT L)u (l+1) + L T p (l) = 0 p (l+1) = p (l) + 1 ɛ Lu(l+1). p (l) 2 p (l+1) 2 = 2 ɛ (A su (l+1), u (l+1) ) + 1 ɛ 2 Lu(l+1) 2. { p (l) } is seen to be decreasing, bounded below by 0 so cvges Use positive definiteness of A s + 1 ɛ LT L to conclude

25 Uniform refinement of a tetrahedron Numerical methods for saddle point problems We prove that c c (l+1) Cɛ c c (l) { (A + 1 ɛ LT L)u (l+1) + L T p (l) = 0 p (l+1) = p (l) + 1 ɛ Lu(l+1), Au (l+1) + L T p (l+1) = 0 We write u (l+1) = û (l+1) + u (l+1) with û (l+1) Ker(L) and u (l+1) Im(L T ). Note that L : Im(L T ) Im(L) has a bounded inverse, so there exists k 0 > 0 such that from which it follows that u (l+1) 1 k 0 Lu (l+1), u (l+1) 2ɛ k 0 p (l)

26 Uniform refinement of a tetrahedron Numerical methods for saddle point problems To get a bound on û (l+1), we notice that A is invertible on Ker(L) since A + 1 ɛ LT L is invertible. This gives for some α 0 > 0, û (l+1) 1 α 0 sup v 0 Ker(L) (v 0, Aû (l+1) ) v 0 = sup v 0 Ker(L) v T 0 Au(l+1) v 0 A u (l+1). Putting together, we obtain u (l+1) Cɛ p (l), for some constant C > 0 To finish, we need a bound on p (l) in terms of u (l). It can be shown that one can choose λ 0 such that p (l) Im(L) and since L T : Im(L) Im(L T ) has a bounded inverse, p (l) 1 k 0 L T p (l). This completes the proof since L T p (l) = Au (l).
