✦ Synopsis

A new finite volume method is presented for discretizing the two-dimensional Maxwell equations. This method may be seen as an extension of the covolume type methods to arbitrary, possibly non-conforming or even non-convex, n-sided polygonal meshes, thanks to an appropriate choice of degrees of freedom. An equivalent formulation of the scheme is given in terms of discrete differential operators obeying discrete duality principles. The main properties of the scheme are its energy conservation, its stability under a CFL-like condition, and the fact that it preserves Gauss' law and divergence free magnetic fields. Second-order convergence is demonstrated numerically on non-conforming and distorted meshes.

A new finite volume method is presented for discretizing general linear or nonlinear elliptic second-order partial-differential equations with mixed boundary conditions. The advantage of this method is that arbitrary distorted meshes can be used without the numerical results being altered. The resul

We suggest a linear nonconforming triangular element for Maxwell's equations and test it in the context of the vector Helmholtz equation. The element uses discontinuous normal fields and tangential fields with continuity at the midpoint of the element sides, an approximation related to the Crouzeix-

We consider a GALERKM scheme for the two-dimensional initial boundary-value problem (P) of the NAVIER-STOKES equations, derive a priori-estimates for the approximations in interpolation spaces between "standard spaces'' as occuring in the theory of weak solutions and obtain well-posedness of (P) wit
