We consider a stabilized finite element method based on a spacetime formulation, where the equations are solved on a global (unstructured) spacetime mesh. A unique continuation problem for the wave equation is considered, where data is known in an interior subset of spacetime. For this problem, we consider a primal-dual discrete formulation of the continuum problem with the addition of stabilization terms that are designed with the goal of minimizing the numerical errors. We prove error estimates using the stability properties of the numerical scheme and a continuum observability estimate, based on the sharp geometric control condition by Bardos, Lebeau and Rauch. The order of convergence for our numerical scheme is optimal with respect to stability properties of the continuum problem and the interpolation errors of approximating with polynomial spaces. Numerical examples are provided that illustrate the methodology.

We consider the null controllability problem for the wave equation, and analyse a stabilized finite element method formulated on a global, unstructured spacetime mesh. We prove error estimates for the approximate control given by the computational method. The proofs are based on the regularity properties of the control given by the Hilbert Uniqueness Method, together with the stability properties of the numerical scheme. Numerical experiments illustrate the results.
This work proposes a new stabilized $P_1times P_0$ finite element method for solving the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations. The numerical scheme is based on a reduced Bernardi--Raugel element with statically condensed face bubbles and is pressure-robust in the small viscosity regime. For the Stokes problem, an error estimate uniform with respect to the kinematic viscosity is shown. For the Navier--Stokes equation, the nonlinear convection term is discretized using an edge-averaged finite element method. In comparison with classical schemes, the proposed method does not require tuning of parameters and is validated for competitiveness on several benchmark problems in 2 and 3 dimensional space.
We present a novel class of high-order space-time finite element schemes for the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations. We prove that our schemes are mass conservative, positivity preserving, and unconditionally energy stable for any order of approximation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first class of (arbitrarily) high-order accurate schemes for the PNP equations that simultaneously achieve all these three properties. This is accomplished via (1) using finite elements to directly approximate the so-called entropy variable instead of the density variable, and (2) using a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretization in time. The entropy variable formulation, which was originally developed by Metti et al. [17] under the name of a log-density formulation, guarantees both positivity of densities and a continuous-in-time energy stability result. The DG in time discretization further ensures an unconditional energy stability in the fully discrete level for any approximation order, where the lowest order case is exactly the backward Euler discretization and in this case we recover the method of Metti et al. [17].
In this paper, a stabilized extended finite element method is proposed for Stokes interface problems on unfitted triangulation elements which do not require the interface align with the triangulation. The velocity solution and pressure solution on each side of the interface are separately expanded in the standard nonconforming piecewise linear polynomials and the piecewise constant polynomials, respectively. Harmonic weighted fluxes and arithmetic fluxes are used across the interface and cut edges (segment of the edges cut by the interface), respectively. Extra stabilization terms involving velocity and pressure are added to ensure the stable inf-sup condition. We show a priori error estimates under additional regularity hypothesis. Moreover, the errors {in energy and $L^2$ norms for velocity and the error in $L^2$ norm for pressure} are robust with respect to the viscosity {and independent of the location of the interface}. Results of numerical experiments are presented to {support} the theoretical analysis.
Fourth-order differential equations play an important role in many applications in science and engineering. In this paper, we present a three-field mixed finite-element formulation for fourth-order problems, with a focus on the effective treatment of the different boundary conditions that arise naturally in a variational formulation. Our formulation is based on introducing the gradient of the solution as an explicit variable, constrained using a Lagrange multiplier. The essential boundary conditions are enforced weakly, using Nitsches method where required. As a result, the problem is rewritten as a saddle-point system, requiring analysis of the resulting finite-element discretization and the construction of optimal linear solvers. Here, we discuss the analysis of the well-posedness and accuracy of the finite-element formulation. Moreover, we develop monolithic multigrid solvers for the resulting linear systems. Two and three-dimensional numerical results are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the discretization and efficiency of the multigrid solvers proposed.
