✦ Synopsis

The propagation of waves in two-and three-dimensional bounded viscoelastic media is described in the spacefrequency domain, leading to a Helmholtz-type boundary value problem, which is noncoercive, non-Hermitian, and complex valued. First-order absorbing boundary conditions are derived and used to minimize spurious reflections from the artificial boundaries. The paper consists of two parts. In Part I we describe the global procedures for the approximate solution of the problem. Simplicial and rectangular nonconforming finite element methods are employed for the spatial discretization. Optimal error estimate in a broken energy and L 2 ðXÞ norms are derived using a bootstrapping argument of Schatz. Also a hybridization of these procedures is analyzed. In Part II we define and analyze nonoverlapping domain decomposition iterative methods. Convergence results are derived and numerical experiments showing the potential applicability in seismology are presented.

The goal of this article is to apply the mortar finite element method to the numerical simulation of (electromagnetic and/or acoustic) waves propagating in an inhomogeneous support. This approach allows us to use meshes well adapted to the local physical parameters of the media without any conformit

In this work we derive and analyze a posteriori error estimators for low-order nonconforming finite element methods of the linear elasticity problem on both triangular and quadrilateral meshes, with hanging nodes allowed for local mesh refinement. First, it is shown that equilibrated Neumann data on
