Convergence and superconvergence analysis of a new quadratic Hermite-type triangular element on anisotropic meshes

摘要

A new quadratic Hermite-type triangular finite element is conceived to solve a class of two-dimensional second-order elliptic boundary value problems. Its error estimates on anisotropic meshes are developed. Furthermore, we verify that some conditions set to the meshes contribute to the proof of its superconvergence properties, which can improve the approximation results. Numerical examples are given to confirm our theoretical analysis.
