A Moving Least Squares Approach to the Construction of Discontinuous Enrichment Functions

In this paper we are concerned with the construction of a piecewise smooth field from scattered data by a moving least squares approach. This approximation problem arises when so-called enrichment functions for a generalized finite element method are comp

Preface

The success of quantitative modeling in the rapidly expanding areas of the natural sciences, such as materials science and biology, produces a variety of new mathematical models. The predictive power of these models has to be tested, and methods for their effective treatment have to be developed. This major opportunity for mathematics led to the foundation of the Collaborative Research Center SFB 611 entitled ‘Singular Phenomena and Scaling in Mathematical Models’ at the University of Bonn in 2002. One of its major goals was the efficient handling of new types of models through the close combination o
