C⁰ Interior Penalty Methods for Fourth Order Problems

Abstract: In this talk we will discuss C⁰ interior penalty methods for fourth order problems. These methods are based on standard finite element spaces for second order problems. They are discontinuous Galerkin methods where the normal derivative of the solution of the discrete problem is not required to be continuous across element boundaries. Theoretical results on discretization errors, fast solvers and adaptive algorithms will be presented, together with numerical results for some applications.
