In this paper we introduce a $C^1$ spline space over mixed meshes composed of triangles and quadrilaterals, suitable for FEM-based or isogeometric analysis. In this context, a mesh is considered to be a partition of a planar polygonal…
We extend the $C^1$-$P_3$ Fraeijs de Veubeke-Sander finite element to two families of $C^1$-$P_k$ ($k>3$) macro finite elements on general quadrilateral meshes. On each quadrilateral, four $P_k$ polynomials are defined on the four triangles…
It is well-known that it is comparatively difficult to design nonconforming finite elements on quadrilateral meshes by using Gauss-Legendre points on each edge of triangulations. One reason lies in that these degrees of freedom associated…
We enrich the $P_k$ polynomial space by $5$ ($k=4$), or $7$ ($k=5$), or 8 (all $k\ge 6$) $Q_k$ bubble functions to obtain a family of $C^1$-$P_k$ ($k\ge 4$) finite elements on rectangular meshes. We show the uni-solvency, the…
A new class of nonparametric nonconforming quadrilateral finite elements is introduced which has the midpoint continuity and the mean value continuity at the interfaces of elements simultaneously as the rectangular DSSY element [J.Douglas,…
Both the function and its normal derivative on the element boundary are $Q_k$ polynomials for the Bogner-Fox-Schmit $C^1$-$Q_k$ finite element functions. Mathematically, to keep the optimal order of approximation, their spaces are required…
A $C^1$-$Q_k$ serendipity finite element is a sub-element of $C^1$-$Q_k$ BFS finite element such that the element remains $C^1$-continuous and includes all $P_k$ polynomials. In other words, it is a minimum of $Q_k$ bubbles enriched $P_k$…
Using the language of finite element exterior calculus, we define two families of $H^1$-conforming finite element spaces over pyramids with a parallelogram base. The first family has matching polynomial traces with tensor product elements…
The purpose of the present paper is to develop $C^1$ Virtual Elements in three dimensions for linear elliptic fourth order problems, motivated by the difficulties that standard conforming Finite Elements encounter in this framework. We…
The exact-sequence structure behind the Arnold--Douglas--Gupta family of higher-order mixed finite elements for plane elasticity on barycentric refinements is made explicit. On each macro triangle, the symmetric stress space is obtained by…
We consider the approximation properties of finite element spaces on quadrilateral meshes. The finite element spaces are constructed starting with a given finite dimensional space of functions on a square reference element, which is then…
This paper is devoted to the construction of finite elements on grids that consist of general quadrilaterals not limited in parallelograms. Two finite elements defined as Ciarlet's triple are established for the $H^1$ and $H(\rm rot)$…
We study central simple algebras in various ways, focusing on the role of $p$-central subspaces. The first part of my thesis is dedicated to the study of Clifford algebras. The standard Clifford algebra of a given form is the generic…
Isogeometric Analysis generalizes classical finite element analysis and intends to integrate it with the field of Computer-Aided Design. A central problem in achieving this objective is the reconstruction of analysis-suitable models from…
We introduce a finite element construction for use on the class of convex, planar polygons and show it obtains a quadratic error convergence estimate. On a convex n-gon satisfying simple geometric criteria, our construction produces 2n…
We introduce simple quadrature rules for the family of nonparametric nonconforming quadrilateral element with four degrees of freedom. Our quadrature rules are motivated by the work of Meng {\it et al.} \cite{meng2018new}. First, we…
A new family of mixed finite elements is proposed for solving the classical Hellinger-Reissner mixed problem of the elasticity equations. For two dimensions, the normal stress of the matrix-valued stress field is approximated by an enriched…
This work proposes two nodal type nonconforming finite elements over convex quadrilaterals, which are parts of a finite element exact sequence. Both elements are of 12 degrees of freedom (DoFs) with polynomial shape function spaces…
We consider Clifford algebras over the field of real or complex numbers as a quotient algebra without fixed basis. We present classification of Clifford algebra elements based on the notion of quaternion type. This classification allows us…
In this paper we further develop the method of quaternion typification of Clifford algebra elements suggested by the author in the previous paper. On the basis of new classification of Clifford algebra elements it is possible to reveal and…
