A virtual element method on polyhedral meshes for the sixth-order elliptic problem
share
In this work we analyze a virtual element method on polyhedral meshes for solving the sixth-order elliptic problem with simply supported boundary conditions. We apply the Ciarlet-Raviart arguments to introduce an auxiliary unknown σ:=-Δ^2 u and to search the main uknown u in the H^2∩ H_0^1 Sobolev space. The virtual element discretization is well possed on a C^1× C^0 virtual element spaces. We also provide the convergence and error estimates results. Finally, we report a series of numerical tests to verify the performance of numerical scheme.
