<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we employ the techniques developed for second order operators to obtain the new estimates of Virtual Element Method for fourth order operators. The analysis bases on elements with proper shape regularity. Estimates for projection and interpolation operators are derived. Also, the biharmonic problem is solved by Virtual Element Method, optimal error estimates were obtained. Our choice of the discrete form for the right hand side function relaxes the regularity requirement in previous work and the error estimates between exact solutions and the computable numerical solutions were proved.</p>

AbstractWe develop a geometrically intrinsic formulation of the arbitrary-order Virtual Element Method (VEM) on polygonal cells for the numerical solution of elliptic surface partial differential equations (PDEs). The PDE is first written in covariant form using an appropriate local reference system. The knowledge of the local parametrization allows us to consider the two-dimensional VEM scheme, without any explicit approximation of the surface geometry. The theoretical properties of the classical VEM are extended to our framework by taking into consideration the highly anisotropic character of the final discretization. These properties are extensively tested on triangular and polygonal meshes using a manufactured solution. The limitations of the scheme are verified as functions of the regularity of the surface and its approximation.

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.

We present and analyze a Virtual Element Method (VEM) for the Laplace-Beltrami equation on a surface in ℝ3, that we call Surface Virtual Element Method (SVEM). The method combines the Surface Finite Element Method (SFEM) (Dziuk, Eliott, G. Dziuk and C.M. Elliott., Acta Numer. 22 (2013) 289–396.) and the recent VEM (Beirão da Veiga et al., Math. Mod. Methods Appl. Sci. 23 (2013) 199–214.) in order to allow for a general polygonal approximation of the surface. We account for the error arising from the geometry approximation and in the case of polynomial order k = 1 we extend to surfaces the error estimates for the interpolation in the virtual element space. We prove existence, uniqueness and first order H1 convergence of the numerical solution.We highlight the differences between SVEM and VEM from the implementation point of view. Moreover, we show that the capability of SVEM of handling nonconforming and discontinuous meshes can be exploited in the case of surface pasting. We provide some numerical experiments to confirm the convergence result and to show an application of mesh pasting.
