Lecture "Mixed Finite Element Methods" (SoSe 2025)

Jun.-Prof. Dr. Mira Schedensack
Universität Leipzig
Fakultät für Mathematik und Informatik
Mathematisches Institut


Participants:

The lecture is suitable for students in mathematics (Diplom Mathematik and Diplom Wirtschaftsmathematik) and in mathematical physics with the standard knowledge from the introductory lectures and from functional analysis as well as from basic computational partial differential equations (standard Galerkin FEM).

Content:

This lecture is devoted to the numerical approximation of solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs) in a saddle point formulation. These kind of problems arise for example in mixed formulations of, e.g., the Poisson problem, if the gradient is approximated with an additional variable, or in the Stokes equations that describe fluid flows. The lecture will provide an abstract theory for the approximation of saddle point problems, discusses finite elements for the approximation of stress-like variables for mixed formulations, and finite elements for the Stokes equations.

Time of lectures

The lecture will take place on monday from 11:15-12:45 in P-701.
