Composite Finite Elements are a new class of finite elements for the
discretization of boundary value problems with complicated
structures, e.g., in the geometry of the physical object and/or
in the coefficients of the differential operator and boundary conditions.
In contrast to standard finite elements, the minimal dimension of
the approximation space is independent of the geometric details
and this is especially advantageous for problems on domains with
complicated micro-structures.
In our talk, we will introduce this discretization method for
different kinds of applications such as Poisson-type equations,
Lamé equation, and Stokes equation. We will analyse its
convergence in an a-priori and a-posteriori way and illustrate
the analysis by numerical experiments.
