A pollution-free ultra-weak FOSLS discretization of the Helmholtz equation

Harald Monsuur, Rob Stevenson

We consider an ultra-weak first order system discretization of the Helmholtz equation. When employing the optimal test norm, the `ideal' method yields the best approximation to the…

A convenient inclusion of inhomogeneous boundary conditions in minimal residual methods

Rob Stevenson

Inhomogeneous essential boundary conditions can be appended to a well-posed PDE to lead to a combined variational formulation. The domain of the corresponding operator is a Sobolev…

Minimal residual methods in negative or fractional Sobolev norms

Harald Monsuur, Rob Stevenson, Johannes Storn

For numerical approximation the reformulation of a PDE as a residual minimisation problem has the advantages that the resulting linear system is symmetric positive definite, and th…
