TOPIC: The Cell Discretization Method for Partial Differential Equations
ABSTRACT: A new method for discretizing partial differential equations has
been developed which is more general, and hence may be more suitable for
certain classes of problems than the Finite Difference or Finite Element
methods. Although it is based on a partitioning of the problem domain into
subdomains ("cells") and on a variational formulation, as is the Finite
Element Method, the similarity between the algorithms ends there. The cell
method admits of much more general kinds of intracell basis sets, and the
interface collocation is quite different, being based on sequences of
moments of the interface discrepancies over the interfaces.
