Assignment 3:
    PART A
  1. Work out the details of why the form used in [Example 2.7, Johnson] satisfies all the properties (i)-(iv) listed on p.50.

  2. Implement the proper computation of L2 norm and H1 norm in 1D using quadratures. Test that you are getting the correct order of convergence using linear elements on Pbm 1 from Assignment 1.

    PART B
  3. Implement the use of quadratic FE in fem1d.m and test the convergence orders in L2 norm and H1.
    • Test when u(x)=sin(pi*x). Compare with the use of linear FE (Pbm 1).
    • Test when u(x) is as in Assignment 1, Pbm 3a. Compare with the use of linear FE.

  4. Implement FE solution of Pbm 4 from Assignment 1. Assume the same exact solution as in Pbm 1 from Assignment 1. Check the convergence order in L2 norm and H1.

  5. Work out details why the function in [Example 3.5, Braess] has a finite Dirichlet integral.

  6. Solve [Pbm 2.1, Johnson].
