This brief paper is an introduction to the papers published in a special issue devoted to survey on recent techniques for discretizing Partial Differential Equations on general polygonal and polyhedral meshes. The number of different techniques to deal with discretizations on polygonal and polyhedral meshes is quite huge, and their history is quite long. Here we concentrate on the most recent techniques, including Mimetic Finite Differences, Virtual Element Methods, and the recent developments, in this direction, of Finite Volumes and Discontinuous Galerkin Methods.

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.
