The nonconforming virtual element method

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce the nonconforming Virtual Element Method (VEM) for the approximation of second order elliptic problems. We present the construction of the new element in two and three dimensions, highlighting the main differences with the conforming VEM and the classical nonconforming finite element methods. We provide the error analysis and establish the equivalence with a family of mimetic finite difference methods.


This paper deals with nonconforming virtual element method (VEM) for the approximation of second-order elliptic problems in two and three dimensions. The authors show that the proposed method contains the mimetic finite difference schemes. In contrast to the conforming VEM, this construction is done simultaneously for any dimension and any approximation order. The performance of the method in numerically solving the Poisson problem with constant and variable diffusion coefficients is presented.
