An Analysis of Finite Volume, Finite Element, and Finite Difference Methods Using Some Concepts from Algebraic Topology
In this paper we apply the ideas of algebraic topology to the analysis of the finite volume and finite element methods, illuminating the similarity between the discretization str...

A Multipoint Flux Mixed Finite Element Method on Hexahedra
We develop a mixed finite element method for elliptic problems on hexahedral grids that reduces to cell-centered finite differences. The paper is an extension of our earlier paper...

A Convergent Nonconforming Finite Element Method for Compressible Stokes Flow
We propose a nonconforming finite element method for isentropic viscous gas flow in situations where convective effects may be neglected. We approximate the continuity equation by ...
