A nonconforming finite element method for fourth order curl equations in ℝ³

Abstract: Abstract. In this paper we present a nonconforming finite element method for solving fourth order curl equations in three dimensions arising from magnetohydrodynamics models. We show that the method has an optimal error estimate for a model problem involving both (∇×) 2 and (∇×) 4 operators. The element has a very small number of degrees of freedom, and it imposes the inter-element continuity along the tangential direction which is appropriate for the approximation of magnetic fields. We also provide explicit … Show more

“…In the experiments, we find that there exist some superconvergence phenomena, which will be given a detailed proof in our future work. Besides, we are also interested in the H 2 (curl)-conforming finite elements in 3-D. 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 in the left and 1, 2, 3, 16,17,18,19,20,21 in the right are the node DOFs. Similarly, we can obtain the standard basis functions in the triangleK which is denoted as φ i = (φ 1 i , φ 2 i ) (i = 1, 2, · · · , 24).…”

“…One of the sequences connects the C 1 finite element space of Alfeld [1] to the inf-sup stable Stokes pair of Zhang [21] globally. This is done by introducing a new H 1 (curl)conforming finite element space that may be useful for fourth order curl problems [22]. Finally, we show that the complexes are exact on contractible domains.…”
