GENERAL STRATEGY • A target of information is defined. This is denoted by “S*u” • Procedures for gathering such information are constructed from which the numerical methods stem.
EXAMPLESECOND ORDER ELLIPTIC • A possible choice is to take the ‘sought information’ as the ‘average’ of the function across the ‘internal boundary’. • There are many other choices.
THE STEKLOV-POINCARÉ APPROACH THE TREFFTZ-HERRERA APPROACH THE PETROV-GALERKIN APPROACH
THREE VERSIONS OF FEM-OF • Steklov-Poincaré FEM-OF • Trefftz-Herrera FEM-OF • Petrov-Galerkin FEM-OF
FEM-OF HAS BEEN APPLIED TO DERIVE NEW AND MORE EFFICIENT ORTHOGONAL COLLOCATION METHODS:TH-COLLOCATION • TH-collocation is obtained by locally applying orthogonal collocation to construct the ‘approximate optimal functions’.
CONCLUSION The theory of discontinuous Galerkin methods, here presented, supplies a systematic and general framework for them that includes a Green formula for differential operators in discontinuous functions and two ‘weak formulations’. For any given problem, they permit exploring systematically the different variational formulations that can be applied. Also, designing the numerical scheme according to the objectives that have been set.
MAIN APPLICATIONS OF THIS THEORY OF dG METHODS, thus far. • Trefftz Methods. Contribution to their foundations and improvement. • Introduction of FEM-OF methods. • Development of new, more efficient and general collocation methods. • Unifying formulations of DDM and preconditioners.
