✦ Synopsis

Tre tz-type elements, or T-elements, are ÿnite elements the internal ÿeld of which fulÿlls the governing di erential equations of the problem a priori whereas the prescribed boundary conditions and the interelement continuity must be enforced by some suitable method. In this paper, the relevant matching is achieved by means of a least-squares procedure. The so-called 'frameless' or least-squares T-elements for Helmholtz's equation (related to the scattering of waves by o shore structures) in 2-D are developed and studied. The required accuracy of the solution can be obtained by increasing the number of either the subdomains or T-functions, which can be regarded as the h-or p-type approach, respectively. Convergence studies are performed with much attention to the use of special purpose elements for a doubly connected domain with a circular hole and for an angular corner subdomain. The most attractive features of the presented formulation are its simplicity and robustness. The matrix of the resulting linear system is always Hermitian and positive deÿnite. ?

The RLW equation is solved by a least-squares technique using linear space-time finite elements. In simulations of the migration of a single solitary wave this algorithm is shown to have higher accuracy and better conservation than a recent difference scheme based on cubic spline interpolation funct

An adaptive least-squares finite element method is used to solve the compressible Euler equations in two dimensions. Since the method is naturally diffusive, no explicit artificial viscosity is added to the formulation. The inherent artificial viscosity, however, is usually large and hence does not

A new stress-pressure-displacement formulation for the planar elasticity equations is proposed by introducing the auxiliary variables, stresses, and pressure. The resulting first-order system involves a nonnegative parameter that measures the material compressibility for the elastic body. A two-stag
