Efficient numerical solution of Neumann problems on complicated domains (Q879746)

The authors considered elliptic partial differential equations with Neumann boundary conditions on complicated domains. The discretization is performed by composite finite elements and the approximation propriety is studied. The convergence analysis for composite finite element discretization is based on the quasi-optimality of the Galerkin discretization and transformed as usual to an estimate of the interpolation error. Some numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the convergence behaviour of the multi-grid method on composite finite elements for a Neumann problem on the complicated domain of the Baltic Sea.
