The bending of bilayer plates is a mechanism which allows for large deformations via small externally induced lattice mismatches of the underlying materials. Its mathematical modeling, discussed herein, consists of a nonlinear fourth order…
We consider the numerical approximation of a continuum model of antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials. The state of the material is described in terms of two unit-length vector fields, which can be interpreted as the magnetizations…
The subject of this paper is the rigorous derivation of reduced models for a thin plate by means of {\Gamma}-convergence, in the framework of finite plasticity. Denoting by {\epsilon} the thickness of the plate, we analyse the case where…
We investigate a finite element discretization of an elastic bending-plate model with an effective prestrain. The model has been obtained via homogenization and dimension reduction by B\"onlein at al. (2023). Its energy functional is the…
One of the reasons for the success of the finite element method is its versatility to deal with different types of geometries. This is particularly true of problems posed in curved domains of arbitrary shape. In the case of second order…
We study the problem $-\Delta u = \gamma$, where $\gamma$ is a singular measure, with support on a curve or a point. We prove that optimal rates of convergence for the finite element method can be obtained using properly graded meshes. In…
We consider the finite element discretization of an optimal Dirichlet boundary control problem for the Laplacian, where the control is considered in $H^{1/2}(\Gamma)$. To avoid computing the latter norm numerically, we realize it using the…
In the context of Discontinuous Galerkin methods, we study approximations of nonlinear variational problems associated with convex energies. We propose element-wise nonconforming finite element methods to discretize the continuous…
Motivated by problems where the response is needed at select localized regions in a large computational domain, we devise a novel finite element discretization that results in exponential convergence at pre-selected points. The two key…
Finite element plate and shell formulations are ubiquitous in structural analysis for modeling all kinds of slender structures, both for static and dynamic analyses. The latter are particularly challenging as the high order nature of the…
In this paper, we propose and analyze a finite element discretization for the computation of fractional minimal graphs of order~$s \in (0,1/2)$ on a bounded domain $\Omega$. Such a Plateau problem of order $s$ can be reinterpreted as a…
In this article we prove convergence of adaptive finite element methods for second order elliptic eigenvalue problems. We consider Lagrange finite elements of any degree and prove convergence for simple as well as multiple eigenvalues under…
We develop a parametric cut finite element method for elliptic boundary value problems with corner singularities where we have weighted control of higher order derivatives of the solution to a neighborhood of a point at the boundary. Our…
It is well-known that numerically approximating calculus of variations problems possessing a Lavrentiev Gap Phenomenon (LGP) is challenging, and the standard numerical methodologies, such as finite element, finite difference, and…
The scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) is a relatively recent boundary element method that allows the approximation of solutions to PDEs without the need of a fundamental solution. A theoretical framework for the convergence…
In this paper, we propose a new approach -- the Tempered Finite Element Method (TFEM) -- that extends the Finite Element Method (FEM) to classes of meshes that include zero-measure or nearly degenerate elements for which standard FEM…
We propose models in nonlinear elasticity for nonsimple materials that include surface energy terms. Additionally, we also discuss living surface loads on the boundary. We establish corresponding linearized models and show their…
We adapt the Gradient Discretisation Method (GDM), originally designed for elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations, to the case of a linear scalar hyperbolic equations. This enables the simultaneous design and convergence…
The paper introduces a finite element method for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations posed on a closed surface $\Gamma\subset\R^3$. The method needs a shape regular tetrahedra mesh in $\mathbb{R}^3$ to discretize equations on the…
In this paper, we study adaptive finite element approximations in a perturbation framework, which makes use of the existing adaptive finite element analysis of a linear symmetric elliptic problem. We prove the convergence and complexity of…
