AbstractWe devise a novel framework for the error analysis of finite element approximations to low-regularity solutions in nonconforming settings where the discrete trial and test spaces are not subspaces of their exact counterparts. The key is to use face-to-cell extension operators so as to give a weak meaning to the normal or tangential trace on each mesh face individually for vector fields with minimal regularity and then to prove the consistency of this new formulation by means of some recently-derived mollification operators that commute with the usual derivative operators. We illustrate the technique on Nitsche’s boundary penalty method applied to a scalar diffusion equation and to the time-harmonic Maxwell’s equations. In both cases, the error estimates are robust in the case of heterogeneous material properties. We also revisit the error analysis framework proposed by Gudi where a trimming operator is introduced to map discrete test functions into conforming test functions. This technique also gives error estimates for minimal regularity solutions, but the constants depend on the material properties through contrast factors.

The functioning of the solar cells (and photoelectric phenomena in general) relies on the photo-generation of carriers in p–n junctions and their subsequent recombination in the quasi-neutral regions. A number of basic issues concerning the physics of the operation of solar cells still remain obscure. This paper reports on some unsolved basic problems, namely: a model of the recombination processes that does not contradict Maxwell’s equations; boundary conditions; the role played by space charges in the transport phenomena, and the formation of quasi-neutral regions under the presence of nonequilibrium photo-generated carriers. In this work, a new formulation of the theory that explains the underlying physical phenomena involved in the generation of a photo-e.m.f. is presented.

The researcher [1-10] proposed a method for computing the numerical solution to quasi-linear parabolic p.d.e.s using a Chebyshev method. The purpose of this paper is to extend the method to problems with mixed boundary conditions. An error analysis for the linear problem is given and a global element Chebyshev method is described. A comparison of various chebyshev methods is made by applying them to two-point eigenproblems. It is shown by analysis and numerical examples that the approach used to derive the generalized Chebyshev method is comparable, in terms of the accuracy obtained, with existing Chebyshev methods.
