Convergence of nonconforming multigrid methods without full elliptic regularity

From MaRDI portal





This paper studies the convergence of multigrid methods for nonconforming finite element approximations of symmetric positive definite second- and fourth-order elliptic boundary value problems which do not have full elliptic regularity. The approach uses i) two key ingredients introduced by \textit{R. E. Bank} and \textit{T. Dupont} [ibid. 36, 35-51 (1981; Zbl 0466.65059)] in the context of conforming finite element methods: -- equivalence between mesh-dependent norms and fractional order Sobolev norms on the finite element space; -- a duality argument involving fractional order Sobolev spaces. ii) and the extension of such ingredients to nonconforming finite element methods is obtained by relating the nonconforming finite element to a conforming finite element. The results are carefully proved and their relevance is illustrated by detailed applications to models second- and fourth-order problems. The paper includes 68 basic references. This is a very nice paper the reading of which requires a good knowledge of the mathematical theory of finite element methods.
