Di Pietro", "Jérôme Droniou", "Alexandre Ern" ], "categories": [ "math.NA" ], "abstract": "We design and analyze an approximation method for advection-diffusion-reaction equations where the (generalized) degrees of freedom are polynomials of order $k\\ge0$ at mesh faces. The method hinges on local discrete reconstruction operators for the diffusive and advective derivatives and a weak enforcement of boundary conditions. Fairly general meshes with polytopal and nonmatching cells are supported. Arbitrary polynomial orders can be considered, including the case $k=0$ which is closely related to Mimetic Finite Difference/Mixed-Hybrid Finite Volume methods. The error analysis covers the full range of P\\'eclet numbers, including the delicate case of local degeneracy where diffusion vanishes on a strict subset of the domain. Computational costs remain moderate since the use of face unknowns leads to a compact stencil with reduced communications. Numerical results are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-01T10:41:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "65N30", "65N08" ], "keywords": [ "general meshes", "discontinuous-skeletal method", "finite difference/mixed-hybrid finite volume methods", "mimetic finite difference/mixed-hybrid finite volume", "advection-diffusion-reaction" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1411.0098D" } } }
