Let P be an hyperplane in R^N, and denote by dH the Hausdorff distance. We show that for all positive radius r < 1 there is an epsilon > 0, such that if K is a Reifenberg-flat set in B(0; 1), a ball in R^N, that contains the origin, with…
We consider graphs parameterized on a portion $X\subset\mathbb Z^d\times \{1,\ldots, M\}^k$ of a cylindrical subset of the lattice $\mathbb Z^d\times \mathbb Z^k$, and perform a discrete-to-continuum dimension-reduction process for energies…
Local energy error estimates for the finite element method for elliptic problems were originally proved in 1974 by Nitsche and Schatz. These estimates show that the local energy error may be bounded by a local approximation term, plus a…
