✦ Synopsis

The derivation of shape functions of two-dimensional regular and transition "nite element using Pascal triangle concept is presented. A practical rule for the trial function selection from Pascal triangle is developed. The derived elements are tested using some case studies. The results are validated by ANSYS. The developed rule is also generalized for the three-dimensional "nite elements.

We propose and analyze efficient preconditioners for solving systems of equations arising from the p-version for the finite element/boundary element coupling. The first preconditioner amounts to a block Jacobi method, whereas the second one is partly given by diagonal scaling. We use the generalized
