Abstract

We extend the two-dimensional singular Zienkiewicz element to three dimensions, leading to a novel $H^2$-conforming finite element on tetrahedral meshes based on rational shape functions. Besides the finite element construction and its conformity analysis, we develop an exact iterative integration procedure for the associated class of rational functions. The resulting formulae allow for the exact integration of the basis functions, their derivatives, and the products occurring in finite element assembly.

Advancements in Spectral Collocation Methods for High-Order Eigenvalue Problems

This paper focuses on computing spectral solutions for high-order eigenvalue problems using an efficient discretization method based on Chebfun spectral discretization algorithms and domain truncation. We solve several numerical eigenvalue problems, demonstrating both the accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed approach.

Optimal control of fractional diffusion with Dirac measures

We study a PDE-constrained optimization problem for an elliptic equation with the spectral fractional Laplacian and a linear combination of Dirac measures as the forcing term; the controls are the amplitudes of these singular sources. We prove existence and uniqueness of an optimal solution and derive first-order optimality conditions. We then propose a discretization based on finite elements. Since the set of admissible controls is finite dimensional, the control variable itself does not require discretization. We conclude by deriving a priori error bounds

Overcoming the spatial order barrier for nonlinear SPDEs with additive space-time white noise

We introduce a fully discrete numerical scheme for semilinear SPDEs with additive space-time white noise that overcomes the previous order barrier for the spatial convergence rate. The scheme achieves a strong convergence rate of $M^{-1+ε}$ in time and $N^{-3/2+ε}$ in space for any $ε>0$, where $M^{-1}$ and $N^{-1}$ are the temporal, respectively the spatial, meshsizes. This substantially improves the standard spatial error bounds of order $N^{-1/2}$ in the literature.
