✦ Synopsis

Three finite element methods are applied to the equations describing static, spherically symmetric fluid bodies in general relativity. The usual Ritz method with linear splines is unconditionally unstable, although the instability is mild. As most Ritz and Galerkin methods will produce similar unstable methods a weighted residual method with cubic Lagrange splines is tried. This again proves unstable, and it seems that this approximation is inherently inappropriate for hyperbolic equations. However, the cubic Hermite spline approximation, with some modification, proves to be both A-stable and S-stable, and is accurate to order h 3.

For a generalized Stokes problem it is shown that weak solvability is equivalent to ellipticity of the system. In the case of ellipticity, the standard mixed finite element method converges if a Babuska-Brezzi condition for the pressure-form holds. This result is also true if the pressure operator i

## Abstract A new coaxial waveguide‐port algorithm is developed and tested for the time‐domain finite‐element method. The electric field is modeled by edge elements and, for part of a coaxial cable or a similar transmission line, the full Maxwell's equations are reduced to the one‐dimensional trans
