Abstract:

The weak Galerkin (WG) finite element method is a newly developed and efficient numerical technique for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). It was first introduced and analyzed for second-order elliptic equations and further applied to several other model equations, such as the Brinkman equations, the eigenvalue problem of PDEs to demonstrate its power and efficiency as an emerging new numerical method. This talk introduces some progress on the WG scheme, which includes the applications on Brinkman problems, etc.
