Numerical Methods for PDEs Research Group Front Page Professor Daniele Boffi leads the so-called NUMPDE research group, which stands for Numerical Methods for PDEs Research group areas of expertise and current scientific interests: mixed finite elements, partial differential equations, virtual elements method A common denominator for the research topics is that the numerical approach is based on rigorous mathematical analysis of the approximation schemes (well-posedness, stability, convergence, etc.) and on the numerical validation of the theoretical results. Among the many research topics, the NumPDE group is interested in are: Approximation of
