Abstract: | ** Email: brandts{at}science.uva.nl The least-squares mixed finite-element method for second-orderelliptic problems yields an approximation uh Vh H01( ) of thepotential u together with an approximation ph h H(div ; )of the vector field p = A u. Comparing uh with the standardfinite-element approximation of u in Vh, and ph with the mixedfinite-element approximation of p, it turns out that they arehigher-order perturbations of each other. In other words, theyare superclose. Refined a priori bounds and superconvergenceresults can now be proved. Also, the local mass conservationerror is of higher order than could be concluded from the standarda priori analysis. |
