This brief paper is an introduction to the papers published in a special issue devoted to survey on recent techniques for discretizing Partial Differential Equations on general polygonal and polyhedral meshes. The number of different techniques to deal with discretizations on polygonal and polyhedral meshes is quite huge, and their history is quite long. Here we concentrate on the most recent techniques, including Mimetic Finite Differences, Virtual Element Methods, and the recent developments, in this direction, of Finite Volumes and Discontinuous Galerkin Methods.

Abstract
This brief paper is an introduction to the papers published in a special issue devoted to survey on recent techniques for discretizing Partial Differential Equations on general polygonal and polyhedral meshes. The number of different techniques to deal with discretizations on polygonal and polyhedral meshes is quite huge, and their history is quite long. Here we concentrate on the most recent techniques, including Mimetic Finite Differences, Virtual Element Methods, and the recent developments, in this direction, of Finite Volumes and Discontinuous Galerkin Methods.File in questo prodotto:
