Unique continuation for an elliptic interface problem using unfitted isoparametric finite elements

Published 11 Jul 2023 in math.NA and cs.NA | (2307.05210v4)

Abstract: We study unique continuation over an interface using a stabilized unfitted finite element method tailored to the conditional stability of the problem. The interface is approximated using an isoparametric transformation of the background mesh and the corresponding geometrical error is included in our error analysis. To counter possible destabilizing effects caused by non-conformity of the discretization and cope with the interface conditions, we introduce adapted regularization terms. This allows to derive error estimates based on conditional stability. The necessity and effectiveness of the regularization is illustrated in numerical experiments. We also explore numerically the effect of the heterogeneity in the coefficients on the ability to reconstruct the solution outside the data domain. For Helmholtz equations we find that a jump in the flux impacts the stability of the problem significantly less than the size of the wavenumber.
