By utilizing bubble functions as a key analytical tool, our method extends to both convex and non-convex elements in finite element partitions, marking a significant advancement over existing stabilizer-free WG methods. It overcomes the restrictive conditions of previous approaches and is applicable in any dimension $d$, offering substantial advantages. The proposed method maintains a simple, symmetric, and positive definite structure. These benefits are evidenced by optimal order error estimates in both discrete $H^1$ and $L^2$ norms, highlighting the effectiveness and accuracy of our WG method for practical applications.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-08-21T18:31:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "65N30", "65N15", "65N12", "65N20" ], "keywords": [ "weak galerkin finite element methods", "auto-stabilized weak galerkin finite element", "convexity constraints", "polytopal meshes", "wg method" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
