Special Finite Element Methods for a Class of Second Order Elliptic Problems with Rough Coefficients

Babuška, Ivo, Caloz, Gabriel, Osborn, John E.·1994·SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis

Abstract

In this paper the approximate solution of a class of second order elliptic equations with rough coefficients is considered. Problems of the type considered arise in the analysis of unidirectional composites, where the coefficients represent the properties of the material. Several methods for this class of problems are presented, and it is shown that they have the same accuracy as usual methods have for problems with smooth coefficients. The methods are referred to as special finite element methods because they are of finite element type but employ special shape functions, chosen to accurately model the unknown solution.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
