Abstract
Numerical approximation of partial differential equations involves parameter dependencies from problem formulation and numerical methods. We focus on two areas: least-squares finite element method with linear elasticity, studying its dependence on the Lamé parameter, and the Virtual Element Method, known for handling complex geometries where the stabilization parameter is analyzed.
