Using the example of a Dirac particle in external static fields, Dirac theory is reformulated as a one-particle quantum theory in the space of normalized two-component spinors. In this formulation, the Dirac operator ``splits'' into two…
In this paper, we develop the theoretical foundations of discrete Dirac mechanics, that is, discrete mechanics of degenerate Lagrangian/Hamiltonian systems with constraints. We first construct discrete analogues of Tulczyjew's triple and…
A recent paper of Arnold, Falk, and Winther [Bull AMS, 47 (2010)] showed that a large class of mixed finite element methods can be formulated naturally on Hilbert complexes, where using a Galerkin-like approach, one solves a variational…
Finite element exterior calculus refers to the development of finite element methods for differential forms, generalizing several earlier finite element spaces of scalar fields and vector fields to arbitrary dimension $n$, arbitrary…
We prove that the Neumann, Dirichlet and regularity problems for divergence form elliptic equations in the half space are well posed in $L_2$ for small complex $L_\infty$ perturbations of a coefficient matrix which is either real symmetric,…
By means of a new technique, we develop further a discrete subordination approach to the functional calculus of power bounded and Ritt operators initiated by N. Dungey in [19]. This allows us to show, in particular, that (infinite) convex…
Dirac operators on curved space-times are introduced with the help of a new point-view that observers have to be included in the formulation of natural laws. The class of Dirac operators are Lorentz invariant in the sense that the…
A conservative primitive variable discrete exterior calculus (DEC) discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations is performed. An existing DEC method (Mohamed, M. S., Hirani, A. N., Samtaney, R. (2016). Discrete exterior calculus…
In order to generalize finite element methods to differential forms, Arnold, Falk, and Winther constructed two families of spaces of polynomial differential forms on a simplex $T$, the $\mathcal P_r\Lambda^k(T)$ spaces and the $\mathcal…
We propose a new class of finite element approximations to ideal compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in smooth regime. Following variational approximations developed for fluid models in the last decade, our discretizations are built…
Given a commuting d-tuple $\bar T=(T_1,...,T_d)$ of otherwise arbitrary nonnormal operators on a Hilbert space, there is an associated Dirac operator $D_{\bar T}$. Significant attributes of the d-tuple are best expressed in terms of…
We propose a method for solving constrained fixed point problems involving compositions of Lipschitz pseudo contractive and firmly nonexpansive operators in Hilbert spaces. Each iteration of the method uses separate evaluations of these…
Discrete models of the Dirac-K\"{a}hler equation and the Dirac equation in the Hestenes form are discussed. A discrete version of the plane wave solutions to a discrete analogue of the Hestenes equation is established.
In this paper, we propose a novel recovery based finite element method for the Cahn-Hilliard equation. One distinguishing feature of the method is that we discretize the fourth-order differential operator in a standard $C^0$ linear finite…
We present a novel approach of discretizing variable coefficient diffusion operators in the context of meshfree generalized finite difference methods. Our ansatz uses properties of derived operators and combines the discrete Laplace…
In the present article we study basic aspects of the symplectic version of Clifford analysis associated to the symplectic Dirac operator. Focusing mostly on the symplectic vector space of real dimension $2$, this involves the analysis of…
Geometric discretisation draws analogies between discrete objects and operations on a complex with continuum ones on a manifold. We generalise the theory to the cubic case and incorporate metric, by adding volume factors to our discrete…

We study a natural Dirac operator on a Lagrangian submanifold of a K\"ahler manifold. We first show that its square coincides with the Hodge-de Rham Laplacian provided the complex structure identifies the Spin structures of the tangent and…
In this paper we present for the first time a complete description of the Bohm model of the Dirac particle. This result demonstrates again that the common perception that it is not possible to construct a fully relativistic version of the…
