Abstract:We study finite element approximations of elliptic and parabolic interface problems with discontinuous coefficients and nonlinear jump conditions. We introduce a scalar interface reduction in which the solution is decomposed into a continuous component and a unit-jump response mode. This representation isolates the interface nonlinearity into a single scalar variable while the bulk problem remains linear.
From this perspective, the nonlinear interface condition is reduced to a scalar nonlinear equation, which may be interpreted as a nonlinear Schur complement associated with the interface degree of freedom. The resulting formulation leads to a simple computational procedure consisting of linear solves combined with a low-dimensional nonlinear update.
Numerical results for representative elliptic and parabolic problems confirm second-order accuracy for interface quantities and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
