SUPERCONVERGENCE OF LEAST-SQUARES MIXED FINITE ELEMENTS FOR ELLIPTIC PROBLEMS ON TRIANGULATION

摘要

In this paper,we present the least-squares mixed finite element method and investigate superconvergence phenomena for the second order elliptic boundary-value problems over triangulations.On the basis of the L2-projection and some mixed finite element projections,we obtain the superconvergence result of least-squares mixed finite element solutions.This error estimate indicates an accuracy of O(h3/2)if the lowest order Raviart-Thomas elements are employed.
