Elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) arise in many areas of computational sciences such as computational fluid dynamics, biophysics, engineering, geophysics and more. They are difficult to solve due to their global nature and…

We present an approach to solid-state electronic-structure calculations based on the finite-element method. In this method, the basis functions are strictly local, piecewise polynomials. Because the basis is composed of polynomials, the…

We have applied the Finite Element Method to the self-consistent electronic structure calculations of molecules and solids for the first time. In this approach all the calculations are performed in "real space" and the use of non-uniform…

We study several numerical discretization techniques for the one-space plus one-time dimensional Dirac equation, including finite difference and space-time finite element methods. Two finite difference schemes and several space-time finite…

The aim of this paper is the derivation of structure preserving schemes for the solution of the EPDiff equation, with particular emphasis on the two dimensional case. We develop three different schemes based on the Discrete Variational…

We present a method for electronic structure calculations that retains all of the advantages of real space and addresses the inherent inefficiency of a regular grid, which has equal precision everywhere. The computations are carried out on…

We introduce a new multilevel domain decomposition method (MDD) for electronic structure calculations within semi-empirical and Density Functional Theory (DFT) frameworks. This method iterates between local fine solvers and global coarse…

We present an approach to accelerate real-space electronic structure methods several fold, without loss of accuracy, by reducing the dimension of the discrete eigenproblem that must be solved. To accomplish this, we construct an efficient,…

We consider numerical simulation of the isotropic elastic wave equations arising from seismic applications with non-trivial land topography. The more flexible finite element method is applied to the shallow region of the simulation domain…

A discretisation scheme that preserves topological features of a physical problem is extended so that differential geometric structures can be approximated in a consistent way thus giving access to the study of physical systems which are…

We overview a series of recent works addressing numerical simulations of partial differential equations in the presence of some elements of randomness. The specific equations manipulated are linear elliptic, and arise in the context of…

The main purpose of this article is to show how symmetry structures in partial differential equations can be preserved in a discrete world and reflected in difference schemes. Three different structure preserving discretizations of the…

Methods for discretizing port-Hamiltonian systems are of interest both for simulation and control purposes. Despite the large literature on mixed finite elements, no rigorous analysis of the connections between mixed elements and…

We study the use of polyhedral discretizations for the solution of heat diffusion and elastodynamic problems in computer graphics. Polyhedral meshes are more natural for certain applications than pure triangular or quadrilateral meshes,…

The numerical solution of a nonlinear and space-fractional anti-diffusive equation used to model dune morphodynamics is considered. Spatial discretization is effected using a finite element method whereas the Crank-Nicolson scheme is used…

In this paper, a symmetrized two-scale finite element method is proposed for a class of partial differential equations with symmetric solutions. With this method, the finite element approximation on a fine tensor product grid is reduced to…
