Local energy error estimates for the finite element method for elliptic problems were originally proved in 1974 by Nitsche and Schatz. These estimates show that the local energy error may be bounded by a local approximation term, plus a global pollution term that measures the influence of solution quality from outside the domain of interest and is heuristically of higher order. However, the original analysis of Nitsche and Schatz is restricted to quasi-uniform grids. We present local a priori energy estimates that are valid on shape regular grids, an assumption which allows for highly graded meshes and which much more closely matches the typical practical situation. Our chief technical innovation is an improved superapproximation result.

In this work we study a residual based a posteriori error estimation for the CutFEM method applied to an elliptic model problem. We consider the problem with non-polygonal boundary and the analysis takes into account the geometry and data approximati on on the boundary. The reliability and efficiency are theoretically proved. Moreover, constants are robust with respect to how the domain boundary cuts the mesh.

We propose an energy-stable parametric finite element method (ES-PFEM) to discretize the motion of a closed curve under surface diffusion with an anisotropic surface energy $gamma(theta)$ -- anisotropic surface diffusion -- in two dimensions, while $ theta$ is the angle between the outward unit normal vector and the vertical axis. By introducing a positive definite surface energy (density) matrix $G(theta)$, we present a new and simple variational formulation for the anisotropic surface diffusion and prove that it satisfies area/mass conservation and energy dissipation. The variational problem is discretized in space by the parametric finite element method and area/mass conservation and energy dissipation are established for the semi-discretization. Then the problem is further discretized in time by a (semi-implicit) backward Euler method so that only a linear system is to be solved at each time step for the full-discretization and thus it is efficient. We establish well-posedness of the full-discretization and identify some simple conditions on $gamma(theta)$ such that the full-discretization keeps energy dissipation and thus it is unconditionally energy-stable. Finally the ES-PFEM is applied to simulate solid-state dewetting of thin films with anisotropic surface energies, i.e. the motion of an open curve under anisotropic surface diffusion with proper boundary conditions at the two triple points moving along the horizontal substrate. Numerical results are reported to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy as well as energy dissipation of the proposed ES-PFEM.
The aim of this paper is the numerical study of a class of nonlinear nonlocal degenerate parabolic equations. The convergence and error bounds of the solutions are proved for a linearized Crank-Nicolson-Galerkin finite element method with polynomial approximations of degree $kgeq 1$. Some explicit solutions are obtained and used to test the implementation of the method in Matlab environment.
The dual continuum model serves as a powerful tool in the modeling of subsurface applications. It allows a systematic coupling of various components of the solutions. The system is of multiscale nature as it involves high heterogeneous and high contr ast coefficients. To numerically compute the solutions, some types of reduced order methods are necessary. We will develop and analyze a novel multiscale method based on the recent advances in multiscale finite element methods. Our method will compute multiple local multiscale basis functions per coarse region. The idea is based on some local spectral problems, which are important to identify high contrast channels, and an energy minimization principle. Using these concepts, we show that the basis functions are localized, even in the presence of high contrast long channels and fractures. In addition, we show that the convergence of the method depends only on the coarse mesh size. Finally, we present several numerical tests to show the performance.

In this paper, the time fractional reaction-diffusion equations with the Caputo fractional derivative are solved by using the classical $L1$-formula and the finite volume element (FVE) methods on triangular grids. The existence and uniqueness for the fully discrete FVE scheme are given. The stability result and optimal textit{a priori} error estimate in $L^2(Omega)$-norm are derived, but it is difficult to obtain the corresponding results in $H^1(Omega)$-norm, so another analysis technique is introduced and used to achieve our goal. Finally, two numerical examples in different spatial dimensions are given to verify the feasibility and effectiveness.
