Abstract

In this paper, we use a unified framework introduced in [3] to study two classes of nonconforming immersed finite element (IFE) spaces with integral value degrees of freedom. The shape functions on interface elements are piecewise polynomials defined on sub-elements separated either by the actual interface or its line approximation. In this unified framework, we use the invertibility of the well known Sherman-Morison systems to prove the existence and uniqueness of shape functions on each interface element in either rectangular or triangular mesh. Furthermore, we develop a multi-edge expansion for piecewise functions and a group of identities for nonconforming IFE functions which enable us to show that these IFE spaces have the optimal approximation capability.
