Nonconforming Virtual Element Method for -th Order Partial Differential Equations in
A unified construction of the -nonconforming virtual elements of any
order is developed on any shape of polytope in with
constraints and . As a vital tool in the construction, a
generalized Green's identity for inner product is derived. The
-nonconforming virtual element methods are then used to approximate
solutions of the -harmonic equation. After establishing a bound on the jump
related to the weak continuity, the optimal error estimate of the canonical
interpolation, and the norm equivalence of the stabilization term, the optimal
error estimates are derived for the -nonconforming virtual element
methods.Comment: 33page
-approximation properties of elliptic projectors on polynomial spaces, with application to the error analysis of a Hybrid High-Order discretisation of Leray-Lions problems
In this work we prove optimal -approximation estimates (with
) for elliptic projectors on local polynomial spaces. The
proof hinges on the classical Dupont--Scott approximation theory together with
two novel abstract lemmas: An approximation result for bounded projectors, and
an -boundedness result for -orthogonal projectors on polynomial
subspaces. The -approximation results have general applicability to
(standard or polytopal) numerical methods based on local polynomial spaces. As
an illustration, we use these -estimates to derive novel error
estimates for a Hybrid High-Order discretization of Leray--Lions elliptic
problems whose weak formulation is classically set in for
some . This kind of problems appears, e.g., in the modelling
of glacier motion, of incompressible turbulent flows, and in airfoil design.
Denoting by the meshsize, we prove that the approximation error measured in
a -like discrete norm scales as when
and as when .Comment: keywords: -approximation properties of elliptic projector on

The conforming virtual element method for polyharmonic and elastodynamics problems: a review
In this paper, we review recent results on the conforming virtual element
approximation of polyharmonic and elastodynamics problems. The structure and
the content of this review is motivated by three paradigmatic examples of
applications: classical and anisotropic Cahn-Hilliard equation and phase field
models for brittle fracture, that are briefly discussed in the first part of
the paper. We present and discuss the mathematical details of the conforming
virtual element approximation of linear polyharmonic problems, the classical
Cahn-Hilliard equation and linear elastodynamics problems.Comment: 30 pages, 7 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with
