Mimetic finite difference operators and higher order quadratures

open access: yesGEM - International Journal on Geomathematics, 2023
AbstractMimetic finite difference operators $$\textbf{D}$$ D , $$\textbf{G}$$ G are discrete analogs of the continuous divergence (div) and gradient (grad) operators. In the discrete sense, these discrete operators satisfy the same properties as those of their continuum counterparts ...

On the Virtual Element Method for Topology Optimization on polygonal meshes: a numerical study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
It is well known that the solution of topology optimization problems may be affected both by the geometric properties of the computational mesh, which can steer the minimization process towards local (and non-physical) minima, and by the accuracy of the ...

Introduction to discrete functional analysis techniques for the numerical study of diffusion equations with irregular data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We give an introduction to discrete functional analysis techniques for stationary and transient diffusion equations. We show how these techniques are used to establish the convergence of various numerical schemes without assuming non-physical regularity ...

The curved mimetic finite difference method: Allowing grids with curved faces

open access: yesJournal of Computational Physics, 2023
We present a new mimetic finite difference method for diffusion problems that converges on grids with \textit{curved} (i.e., non-planar) faces. Crucially, it gives a symmetric discrete problem that uses only one discrete unknown per curved face. The principle at the core of our construction is to abandon the standard definition of local consistency of ...

Numerical analysis for the pure Neumann control problem using the gradient discretisation method

open access: yes, 2017
The article discusses the gradient discretisation method (GDM) for distributed optimal control problems governed by diffusion equation with pure Neumann boundary condition. Using the GDM framework enables to develop an analysis that directly applies to a

The mimetic finite difference method for the Landau–Lifshitz equation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Computational Physics, 2017
The Landau-Lifshitz equation describes the dynamics of the magnetization inside ferromagnetic materials. This equation is highly nonlinear and has a non-convex constraint (the magnitude of the magnetization is constant) which pose interesting challenges in developing numerical methods.

Discrete embeddings for Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems

open access: yes, 2018
The general topic of the present paper is to study the conservation for some structural property of a given problem when discretising this problem. Precisely we are interested with Lagrangian or Hamiltonian structures and thus with variational problems ...
