The nonconforming virtual element method for fourth-order singular perturbation problem

We present the nonconforming virtual element method for the fourth-order singular perturbation problem. The virtual element proposed in this paper is a variant of the C0-continuous nonconforming virtual element presented in our previous work and allows to compute two different projection operators that are used for the construction of the discrete scheme. We show the optimal convergence in the energy norm for the nonconforming virtual element method. Further, the lowest order nonconforming method is proved to be uniformly convergent with respect to the perturbation parameter. Finally, we verify the convergence for the nonconforming virtual element method by some numerical tests.
