A Posteriori Error Estimates Based On Polynomial Preserving Recovery, Zhimin Zhang, Ahmed Naga Sep 2002

A Posteriori Error Estimates Based On Polynomial Preserving Recovery, Zhimin Zhang, Ahmed Naga

Mathematics Research Reports

Superconvergence of order O(h1+rho), for some rho is greater than 0, is established for gradients recovered using Polynomial Preserving Recovery technique when the mesh is mildly structured. Consequently this technique can be used in building a posteriori error estimator that is asymptotically exact.

A Meshless Gradient Recovery Method Part I: Superconvergence Property, Zhiming Zhang, Ahmed Naga

Mathematics Research Reports

A new gradient recovery method is introduced and analyzed. It is proved that the method is superconvergent for translation invariant finite element spaces of any order. The method maintains the simplicity, efficiency, and superconvergence properties of the Zienkiewicz-Zhu patch recovery method. In addition, under uniform triangular meshes, the method is superconvergent for the Chevron pattern, and ultraconvergence at element edge centers for the regular pattern.
