Weighted extended B-spline finite element analysis of a coupled system of general elliptic equations

Abstract

In this study we establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution of a coupled system of general elliptic equations with anisotropic diffusion , non-uniform advection and variably influencing reaction terms on Lipschitz continuous domain Ω ⊂ R m (m≥1) with a Dirichlet boundary. Later we consider the finite element (FE) approximation of the coupled equations in a meshless framework based on weighted extended B-Spine functions (WEBS).The a priori error estimates corresponding to the finite element analysis are derived to establish the convergence of the corresponding FE scheme and the numerical methodology has been tested on few examples.
