A Sobolev Spaces
We know from Paragraph A.2.9 that the Lebesgue L '-spaces control the regularity of functions They do not admit functions with singularities whose strength exceeds certain limit or, in unbounded domains, whose decay at infinity is slower than certain rate. The Sobolev spaces Wk-'' are subspaces of Lp-spaces that, moreover, control the regularity of the derivatives. Their structure and properties make them particularly suitable for the analysis of partial differential equations. These spaces...

Hence, real functions defined in i C 1 lie in the space Lp fi if either they are essentially bounded or if their singularities are weaker than the singularity of x_1 p at singular points they go to infinity slower than x-1 p . 4. The other purpose of Lp-spaces is to control the rate of decay at infinity on unbounded sets. Consider, for example, the interval Q 1, 00 and the same function as above, f x l xa.

is called the principal leading part of L. Most parabolic and hyperbolic equations are motivated in physics, and therefore one of the independent variables usually is the time t. The typical operator form of parabolic equations is where L is an elliptic differential operator. Typical second-order hyperbolic equation can be seen in the form where again L is an elliptic differential operator. The following examples show simple elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic equations.

Secondorder Elliptic Problems
This section is devoted to the discussion of linear second-order elliptic problems. We begin by deriving the weak formulation of a model problem in Paragraph l .2.1. Properties of bilinear forms arising in the weak formulation of linear elliptic problems are discussed in Paragraph 1.2.2. In Paragraph 1.2.3 we introduce the Lax-Milgram lemma, which is the basic tool for proving the existence and uniqueness of solution to linear elliptic problems. The weak formulations and solvability analysis of...

The implementation of various types of boundary conditions closely follows the discussion in Paragraphs 1.2.5, 1.2.6, and 1.2.7. Let us begin with the nonhomogeneous Dirichlet case.

Secondorder Hyperbolic Problems
In this section we study linear second-order hyperbolic problems. A model equation with appropriate boundary and initial conditions is formulated in Paragraph 1.4.1. In Paragraph 1.4.2 we derive its weak formulation and present a basic existence and uniqueness result. In Paragraph 1.4.3 we show the link between the second-order hyperbolic equations and first-order hyperbolic systems. 1.4.1 Initial and boundary conditions The notion of hyperbolicity was first introduced in Definition l.l....

In some situations even high-order Gaussian quadrature rules fail or deliver unacceptable errors. This may happen, for example, if the integrated function is discontinuous or oscillates. A possible remedy is to apply some suitable adaptive quadrature algorithm in critical elements. These algorithms usually are not very difficult to implement and can improve the accuracy and reliability of the numerical quadrature significantly. Let us begin with introducing a basic prototype of an adaptive...
Higherorder Numerical Quadrature
The explicit form of the stiffness matrix Sn and the load vector Fn, shown in Section 2.2, should not make the reader think that the integrals in the finite element method are calculated on the paper. In reality the load function e L2 fl may be nonpolynomial or even defined via tabulated data. In general, the right-hand side integrals of the form cannot be calculated exactly. Usually it is not a bad idea to use a numerical quadrature for the stiffness matrix entries as well. As we will see in a...

The Sparse Stiffness Matrix
As we mentioned in Paragraph 2.2.3, the finite element method prefers basis functions with small and possibly nonoverlapping supports. Then almost all entries in the stiffness matrix S are zero, which is convenient for the computation. Matrices with this property are said to be sparse. The question of efficient storage and operation with large sparse matrices is essential. With N 100,000 unknowns, which is a moderate number in practical applications, a full N x N stiffness matrix S in double...
