Analysis of nonconforming virtual element method for the convection diffusion reaction equation with polynomial coefficients

Abstract: In this paper we discuss the application of nonconforming virtual element methods(VEM) for the second order diffusion dominated convection diffusion reaction equation. Stability of the virtual element methods has been proved for the symmetric bilinear form. But the same analysis cannot be carried out for the non-symmetric case. In this work we present the external virtual element methods using $L^2$ projection operator and prove the well-posedness of VEM for non symmetric bilinear form. We also proved polynomial consistency of discrete bilinear form assuming $H^2$ regularity of approximate solution on each triangle. We have shown optimal convergence estimate in the broken sobolev norm.
