Postprocessing schemes for some mixed finite elements
Mathematics Subject Classification: 35J05, 35J25, 35C15, 47H50, 47G30We consider an impedance boundary-value problem for the Helmholtz equation which models a wave diffraction problem with imperfect conductivity on a strip. Pseudo-differential operators are used to deal with this wave diffraction problem. Therefore, single and double layer potentials allow a reformulation of the problem into a system of integral equations. By using operator theoretical methods, the well-posedness of the problem...
One of the main tools in the proof of residual-based a posteriori error estimates is a quasi-interpolation operator due to Clément. We modify this operator in the setting of a partition of unity with the effect that the approximation error has a local average zero. This results in a new residual-based a posteriori error estimate with a volume contribution which is smaller than in the standard estimate. For an elliptic model problem, we discuss applications to conforming, nonconforming and mixed...
