P1--nonconforming polyhedral finite elements in high dimensions
Abstract
We consider the lowest--degree nonconforming finite element methods for the approximation of elliptic problems in high dimensions. The P1--nonconforming polyhedral finite element is introduced for any high dimension. Our finite element is simple and cheap as it is based on the triangulation of domains into parallelotes, which are combinatorially equivalent to d--dimensional cube, rather than the triangulation of domains into simplices. Our nonconforming element is nonparametric, and on each polytope it contains only linear polynomials, but it is sufficient to give optimal order convergence for second--order elliptic problems.
