Superconvergence of RT1 mixed finite element approximations for elliptic control problems

In this paper,we investigate the superconvergence property of the numerical solution to a quadratic elliptic control problem by using mixed finite element methods.The state and co-state are approximated by the order k=1 Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control variable is approximated by piecewise constant functions.We prove the superconvergence error estimate of h3/2 in L2-norm between the approximated solution and the average L2 projection of the control.Moreover,by the postprocessing technique,a quadratic superconvergence result of the control is derived.     

CONSTRAINED QUADRILATERAL NONCONFORMING ROTATED Q1 ELEMENT

In this paper, we define a new nonconforming quadrilateral finite element based on the nonconforming rotated Q1 element by enforcing a constraint on each element, which has only three degrees of freedom. We investigate the consistency, approximation, superclose property, discrete Green＇s function and superconvergence of this element. Moreover, we propose a new postprocessing technique and apply it to this element. It is proved that the postprocessed discrete solution is superconvergent under a mild assumption on the mesh.     

鱼骨形网格上二阶方程混合元的超收敛

In this paper, superconvergence of the lowest order Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element approximation for second order Neumann boundary value problem on fishbone shape meshes is analyzed. The main term of the error between the exact solution and the finite element interpolating function is determined by Bramble-Hilbert lemma on the individual finite element. A part of the main term of the error on two adjacent finite elements can be cancelled along the special direction, and thus the higher order error estimate is obtained on the whole domain by summation. Compared with the general finite element error estimate,the convergence rate can be increased from order one to order two in L2-norm by postprocessing superconvergence technique.     

SUPERCONVERGENCE ANALYSIS OF FINITE ELEMENT METHODS FOR OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS OF THE STATIONARY BENARD TYPE

In this paper, we consider the finite element approximation of the distributed optimal control problems of the stationary Benard type under the pointwise control constraint. The states and the co-states are approximated by polynomial functions of lowest-order mixed finite element space or piecewise linear functions and the control is approximated by piecewise constant functions. We give the superconvergence analysis for the control; it is proved that the approximation has a second-order rate of convergence. We further give the superconvergence analysis for the states and the co-states. Then we derive error estimates in L^∞-norm and optimal error estimates in L^2-norm.     

Superconvergence and asymptotic expansions for linear finite element approximations on criss-cross mesh

In this paper, we discuss the error estimation of the linear finite element solution on criss-cross mesh. Using space orthogonal decomposition techniques, we obtain an asymptotic expansion and superconvergence results of the finite element solution. We first prove that the asymptotic expansion has different forms on the two kinds of nodes and then derive a high accuracy combination formula of the approximate derivatives.     

AN ANISOTROPIC NONCONFORMING FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR APPROXIMATING A CLASS OF NONLINEAR SOBOLEV EQUATIONS

An anisotropic nonconforming finite element method is presented for a class of nonlinear Sobolev equations. The optimal error estimates and supercloseness are obtained for both semi-discrete and fully-discrete approximate schemes, which are the same as the traditional finite element methods. In addition, the global superconvergence is derived through the postprocessing technique. Numerical experiments are included to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method.     

SUPERCONVERGENCE OF LEAST-SQUARES MIXED FINITE ELEMENT FOR SECOND-ORDER ELLIPTIC PROBLEMS

In this paper the least-squares mixed finite element is considered for solving secondorder elliptic problems in two dimensional domains. The primary solution u and the flux er are approximated using finite element spaces consisting of piecewise polynomials of degree k and r respectively. Based on interpolation operators and an auxiliary projection,superconvergent H^1-error estimates of both the primary solution approximation uh and the flux approximation σh are obtained under the standard quasi-uniform assumption on finite element partition. The superconvergence indicates an accuracy of O(h^r 2) for the least-squares mixed finite element approximation if Raviart-Thomas or Brezzi-DouglasFortin-Marini elements of order r are employed with optimal error estimate of O(h^r l).     

常微方程组初值问题的连续有限元及守恒性

In this paper the continous finite element to solve initinal value problem for system of linear differential equations is used, and the absolute stability of the corresponding single step k-order hidden shceme is discussed. In the paper by simplified means, the superconvergence of finite element and one of it on the nodes are proved. Using the continuous finite element to solve linear Hamilton systems: Pt = Hq,qt = -Hp, the conservation of energy H(p,q) = 1/2 ap^2 bpq 1/2 cq^2 can be obtained. The computation shows that even if division is regular and the error of finite element Ph, qh is big, H(ph, qh) is almost equal H(p, q) in the range of computation accuracy.     

SOME ARGUMENTS FOR RECOVERING THE FINITE ELEMENT~*

The dual argument is well known for recoving the optimal L_2-error of the finite element method in elliptic context. This argument, however, will lose efficacy in hyperbolic case. An expansion argument and an approximation argument are presented in this paper to recover the optimal L_2-error of finite element methods for hyperbolic problems. In particular, a second order error estimate in L_2-norm for the standard linear finite element method of hyperbolic problems is obtained if the exact solution is smooth and the finite element mesh is almost uniform, and some superconvergence estimates are also established for leas smooth solution.     

Recovery type a posteriori estimates and superconvergence for nonconforming FEM of eigenvalue problems

The main goal of this paper is to present recovery type a posteriori error estimators and superconvergence for the nonconforming finite element eigenvalue approximation of self-adjoint elliptic equations by projection methods. Based on the superconvergence results of nonconforming finite element for the eigenfunction we derive superconvergence and recovery type a posteriori error estimates of the eigenvalue. The results are based on some regularity assumption for the elliptic problem and are applicable to the lowest order nonconforming finite element approximations of self-adjoint elliptic eigenvalue problems with quasi-regular partitions. Therefore, the results of this paper can be employed to provide useful a posteriori error estimators in practical computing under unstructured meshes.

This paper deals with a new nonconforming anisotropic rectangular finite element approximation for the planar elasticity problem with pure displacement boundary condition. By use of the special properties of this element, and by introducing the complementary space and a series of novel techniques, the optimal error estimates of the energy norm and the L^2-norm are obtained. The restrictions of regularity assumption and quasi-uniform assumption or the inverse assumption on the meshes required in the conventional finite element methods analysis are to be got rid of and the applicable scope of the nonconforming finite elements is extended.

Anisotropic $EQ_1^{rot}$ Finite Element Approximation for a Multi-Term Time-Fractional Mixed Sub-Diffusion and Diffusion-Wave Equation

By employing $EQ_1^{rot}$ nonconforming finite element, the numerical approximation is presented for multi-term time-fractional mixed sub-diffusion and diffusion-wave equation on anisotropic meshes. Comparing with the multi-term time-fractional sub-diffusion equation or diffusion-wave equation, the mixed case contains a special time-space coupled derivative, which leads to many difficulties in numerical analysis. Firstly, a fully discrete scheme is established by using nonconforming finite element method (FEM) in spatial direction and L1 approximation coupled with Crank-Nicolson (L1-CN) scheme in temporal direction. Furthermore, the fully discrete scheme is proved to be unconditional stable. Besides, convergence and superclose results are derived by using the properties of $EQ_1^{rot}$ nonconforming finite element. What's more, the global superconvergence is obtained via the interpolation postprocessing technique. Finally, several numerical results are provided to demonstrate the theoretical analysis on anisotropic meshes.
