Bounded, Commuting, Discrete-trace Preserving Projections
Alexandre Ern, Johnny Guzmán, Pratyush Potu
We construct bounded, commuting projections for the three-dimensional de Rham complex with the additional property that the projections preserve the trace of functions/fields if th…
A Framework for Analysis of DEC Approximations to Hodge-Laplacian Problems using Generalized Whitney Forms
Johnny Guzmán, Pratyush Potu
We provide a framework for interpreting Discrete Exterior Calculus (DEC) numerical schemes in terms of Finite Element Exterior Calculus (FEEC). We demonstrate the equivalence of co…
Discrete Poincare and Bogovskii operators on cochains and Whitney forms
Johnny Guzmán, Anil N. Hirani, Bingyan Liu +1
Smooth Poincare operators are a tool used to show the vanishing of smooth de Rham cohomology on contractible manifolds and have found use in the analysis of finite element methods…
Discrete Poincaré inequalities: a review on proofs, equivalent formulations, and behavior of constants
Alexandre Ern, Johnny Guzmán, Pratyush Potu +1
We investigate discrete Poincaré inequalities on piecewise polynomial subspaces of the Sobolev spaces H(curl) and H(div) in three space dimensions. We characterize the dependence…
Local L2-bounded commuting projections using discrete local problems on Alfeld splits
Alexandre Ern, Johnny Guzman, Pratyush Potu +1
We construct projections onto the classical finite element spaces based on Lagrange, Nédélec, Raviart-Thomas, and discontinuous elements on shape-regular simplicial meshes. Our p…
