New preprints: Trefftz DG for Navier-Stokes (2-part series)
A two-part series on embedded Trefftz DG methods for steady incompressible flow — to our knowledge the first Trefftz analysis for a genuinely nonlinear PDE, with optimal convergence rates. Part I covers the Oseen problem; Part II extends to the full nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations via a Picard fixed-point argument.
