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.

In this paper, a new conservative and splitting fourth-order compact difference scheme is proposed and analyzed for solving two-dimensional linear Schrödinger equations. The proposed splitting high-order compact scheme in two dimensions has the excellent property that it preserves the conservations of charge and energy. We strictly prove that the scheme satisfies the charge and energy conservations and it is unconditionally stable. We also prove the optimal error estimate of fourth-order accuracy in spatial step and second-order accuracy in time step. The scheme can be easily implemented and extended to higher dimensional problems. Numerical examples are presented to confirm our theoretical results.

AbstractFor curves of prescribed length embedded into the unit disk in two dimensions, we obtain scaling results for the minimal elastic energy as the length just exceeds {2\pi} and in the large length limit. In the small excess length case, we prove convergence to a fourth-order obstacle-type problem with integral constraint on the real line which we then solve. From the solution, we obtain the energy expansion {2\pi+\Theta\delta^{\frac{1}{3}}+o(\delta^{\frac{1}{3}})} when a curve has length {2\pi+\delta} and determine first order coefficient {\Theta\approx 37}. We present an application of the scaling result to buckling in two-layer cylindrical shells where we can determine an explicit bifurcation point between compression and buckling in terms of universal constants and material parameters scaling with the thickness of the inner shell.
