Boundary value problems for second-order elliptic equations (35J25) Stability and convergence of numerical methods for boundary value problems involving PDEs (65N12) Spectral, collocation and related methods for boundary value problems involving PDEs (65N35)

Abstract: This paper addresses the topological structure of steady, anisotropic, inhomogeneous diffusion problems. Two discrete formulations: a) mixed and b) direct formulations are discussed. Differential operators are represented by sparse incidence matrices, while weighted mass matrices play the role of metric-dependent Hodge matrices. The resulting mixed formulations are point-wise divergence-free if the right hand side function f = 0. The method is inf-sup stable and displays optimal convergence on orthogonal and non-affine grids.
