Wang proposed and analyzed superconvergence of the conforming finite element method by L2-projections. However, since the conforming finite element method (CFEM) requires a strong continuity, it is not easy to construct such finite elements for the complex partial differential equations. Thus, the nonconforming finite element method (NCFEM) is more appealing computationally due to better stability and flexibility properties compared to CFEM. The objective of this paper is to establish a general superconvergence result for the nonconforming finite element approximations for second-order elliptic problems by L2-projection methods by applying the idea presented in Wang. MATLAB codes are published at https://github.com/annaleeharris/Superconvergence-NCFEM for anyone to use and to study. The results of numerical experiments show great promise for the robustness, reliability, flexibility and accuracy of superconvergence in NCFEM by L2- projections.展开更多

By considering the properties of nonlinear term on boundary closed intervals, several existence results of positive radial solutions are established. The main results are independent of superlinear growth and sublinear growth of nonlinear term. If nonlinear term has extreme values and satisfies suitable conditions, the main results are very effective.展开更多

Stability and a priori error estimates for the coupled method are derived. We present the optimal order error estimate for the WG-MFEM approximations in a norm that is related to the L^2 for the flux and H1 for the scalar function. Also an optimal order error estimate in L^2 is derived for the scalar approximation by using a duality argument. A series of numerical experiments is presented that verify our theoretical results.展开更多

Specifically, we prove that the convergence of the scheme is of O(h) order in energy norm and of O(h^2) order in L^2 norm on general d-rectangular triangulations. Moreover, when the triangulation is uniform, the convergence rate can be of O(h^2) order in energy norm, and the convergence rate in L^2 norm is still of O(h^2) order, which cannot be improved. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate our theoretical results.展开更多
