Abstract We present a class of nonconforming virtual element methods for general fourth-order partial differential equations in two dimensions. We develop a generic approach for constructing the necessary projection operators and virtual element spaces. Optimal error estimates in the energy norm are provided for general linear fourth-order problems with varying coefficients. We also discuss fourth-order perturbation problems and present a novel nonconforming scheme which is uniformly convergent with respect to the perturbation parameter without requiring an enlargement of the space. Numerical tests are carried out to verify the theoretical results. We conclude with a brief discussion on how our approach can easily be applied to nonlinear fourth-order problems.

AbstractWe consider fourth order singularly perturbed problems in one-dimension and the approximation of their solution by the h version of the finite element method. In particular, we use piecewise Hermite polynomials of degree ${p\geq 3}$ defined on an exponentially graded mesh. We show that the method converges uniformly, with respect to the singular perturbation parameter, at the optimal rate when the error is measured in both the energy norm and a stronger, ‘balanced’ norm. Finally, we illustrate our theoretical findings through numerical computations, including a comparison with another scheme from the literature.
