Galerkin Finite-Element Methods

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Computational Physics ((SCIENTCOMP))

Abstract

The Galerkin finite-element method has been the most popular method of weighted residuals, used with piecewise polynomials of low degree, since the early 1970s. The rise in the popularity of the Galerkin formulation and the concurrent decline in popularity of the variational finite-element formulation has coincided with the diversification of the finite-element method into areas remote from the structural birthplace of the method.
