4 Recap: boundedness of the error of Galerkin method a u u h, v = 0 v V h If a, is an inner product, it means that the approximation is an orthogonal projection to the subspace in the energy norm: error = u x u h x E u x v x E v x V h According to Céa s theorem (see prove at the lecture note), even without a, being symmetric, the error of the approximation of Galerkin will be allways bounded: u u h M δ u v v V h Where M and δ are constants from the conditions of boundedness and V-ellipticity of the bilinear term a, : a u, v M u v a u, u δ u 2 FEM and its convergence Dr. Noemi Friedman PDE 2 Seite 4

6 Piecewise polynomials and the FEM [Chapter 4.1] piecewise polynomials: a function that is defined by a polynomial on each subdomain mesh: the collection of subdomains nodal basis: 1 i = j ψ i x j = 0 i j ψ i x j, y j = 1 i = j 0 i j ψ 2 ψ 3 ψ 4 ψ 5 u x u h x = 4 i=1 u i ψ i x u h (x) P h 1 continious piecewise linear functions for Poisson equation we have to show that P h 1 H 1 when it s not satisfied it is not a conforming element method FEM and its convergence Dr. Noemi Friedman PDE 2 Seite 6

7 Recap: Why linear piecewise polynomials defined on a [Chapter 4.1.1] triangulation are in the subspace Suppose, that uniqueness and existence can be shown in H 1 Show, that the space of all continious piecewise linear functions defined on the triangulation T h is a subspace of H 1. The continious piecewise linear functions can be writen in the general form: u = a i + b i x + c i y (x, y) T i a j + b j x + c j y = a i + b i x + c i y x, y e = T i T j, We have to show that all us are in H 1 : Ω u 2 < Ω = i T i Ω u x 2 + u y 2 < FEM and its convergence Dr. Noemi Friedman PDE 2 Seite 7

8 Recap: Why linear piecewise polynomials defined on a triangulation are in the subspace 1) First let s show that u 2 < Ω u 2 = Ω i T i a i + b i x + c i y 2 < i T i max a i + b i x + c i y 2 T i < 2.)Show that Ω u 2 < Ω = i T i There is no derivatives in a strong sense, but let s see whether these give weak derivatives: g 1 : = u x = b i (x, y) int(t i ) g 2 : = u y = c i (x, y) int(t i ) FEM and its convergence Dr. Noemi Friedman PDE 2 Seite 8

9 Recap: Why linear piecewise polynomials defined on a triangulation are in the subspace are weak derivatives if for any v C 0 Ω u v x = Ω vg 1 and Ω u v y = Ω vg 2 holds. We prove only this, because the approach of the derivation for g 2 is same. Let s first look at the left hand side of the equation: Ω u v x = i T i u v x = i T i uv n 1 + T i u x v uv n 1 = 0 on the edges of the boundary, and uv n 1 = T i T i On the common edges of neighboring triangles T i and T j T j uv n 1 i T i uv n 1 = 0 T i u x v = T i b i v FEM and its convergence Dr. Noemi Friedman PDE 2 Seite 9

10 Recap: Why linear piecewise polynomials defined on a triangulation are in the subspace The left hand side of the equation: Ω u v x = vg 1 Ω Ω u v x = i T i b i v The left hand side of the equation: Ω vg 1 = i T i b i v FEM and its convergence Dr. Noemi Friedman PDE 2 Seite 10
