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 present novel techniques for obtaining the basic estimates of virtual element methods in terms of the shape regularity of polygonal/polyhedral meshes. We also derive new error estimates for the Poisson problem in two and three dimensions.

Abstract In this paper, we present a stabilized coupled algorithm for solving elliptic interface problems, mainly by introducing the jump of the solutions along the interface. A framework of theoretical proofs is provided to show the optimal error estimates of this stabilized method. Several numerical experiments are carried out to demonstrate the computational stability and effectiveness of the method.
