Abstract

In this thesis, we construct simple and convergent finite element methods for linear
and nonlinear elliptic differential equations in non-divergence form with discontinuous
coefficients. The methods are based on a discrete Miranda-Talenti estimate,
which relates the H2 semi-norm of piecewise polynomials with the L2 norm of its
Laplacian on convex domains. We develop a stability and convergence theory of the
proposed methods, and back up the theory with numerical experiments. Furthermore,
we construct a finite element method for the Monge-Ampere problem by using
an equivalent Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman formulation.
