A discrete trace theory for non-conforming polytopal hybrid discretisation methods
<|reference_start|>A discrete trace theory for non-conforming polytopal hybrid discretisation methods: In this work we develop a discrete trace theory that spans non-conforming hybrid discretization methods and holds on polytopal meshes. A notion of a discrete trace seminorm is defined, and trace and lifting results with respect to a discrete $H^1$-seminorm on the hybrid fully discrete space are proven. Building on these results we also prove a truncation estimate for piecewise polynomials in the discrete trace seminorm. Finally, we conduct two numerical tests in which we compute the proposed discrete operators and investigate their spectrum to verify the theoretical analysis. The development of this theory is motivated by the design and analysis of preconditioners for hybrid methods, e.g., of substructuring domain decomposition type.<|reference_end|>
