Abstract:
We discuss the construction and efficient implementation of some lowest-order conforming finite elements on prisms and cones with polygonal bases. Note that 3D convex polytopes can be divided into cones by connecting its vertices with the center. Combined with our finite element on cones, this provides a practical discretization on convex polytopal meshes. This is a collaborative work with Prof. Wenbin Chen.
