Download or read book Superconvergence in Galerkin Finite Element Methods written by Lars Wahlbin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-11-14 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is essentially a set of lecture notes from a graduate seminar given at Cornell in Spring 1994. It treats basic mathematical theory for superconvergence in the context of second order elliptic problems. It is aimed at graduate students and researchers. The necessary technical tools are developed in the text although sometimes long proofs are merely referenced. The book gives a rather complete overview of the field of superconvergence (in time-independent problems). It is the first text with such a scope. It includes a very complete and up-to-date list of references.
