FEM subdivides a large system into smaller, simpler parts called finite elements. This is achieved by a particular space discretization in the space

a finite field or Galois field (so-named in honor of Évariste Galois) is a field that has a finite number of elements. As with any field, a finite field

mathematics, particularly set theory, a finite set is a set that has a finite number of elements. Informally, a finite set is a set which one could in principle

Several methods of discretization can be applied: Finite volume method Finite elements method Finite difference method We begin with the incompressible

In mathematics, finite field arithmetic is arithmetic in a finite field (a field containing a finite number of elements) contrary to arithmetic in a field

functions in space (called a constant strain solution). The elements pass the patch test if the finite element solution is the same as the exact solution. It

In abstract algebra, a finite group is a group whose underlying set is finite. Finite groups often arise when considering symmetry of mathematical or physical

system is modeled by a set of appropriate finite elements interconnected at discrete points called nodes. Elements may have physical properties such as thickness

hereditarily finite sets are defined as finite sets whose elements are all hereditarily finite sets. In other words, the set itself is finite, and all of

This applies in particular to conforming Finite Elements, Mixed Finite Elements, nonconforming Finite Elements, and, in the case of more recent schemes
