An approach to defining quadratic implicit curves is to prescribe two tangent lines and a secant line going through the points of tangency. This paper will show that this method can be generalized to a higher number of tangents, resulting…
Distinguishing different topologically ordered phases and characterizing phase transitions between them is a difficult task due to the absence of local order parameters. In this paper, we use a combination of analytical and numerical…

In this paper we analyze a class of trace finite element methods (TraceFEM) for the discretization of vector-Laplace equations. A key issue in the finite element discretization of such problems is the treatment of the constraint that the…
New finite element methods are proposed for elliptic interface problems in one and two dimensions. The main motivation is not only to get an accurate solution but also an accurate first order derivative at the interface (from each side).…
