Abstract:

The finite elements considered in this paper are those of the Serendipity family of curved isoparametric elements. There is given a detailed analysis of a superconvergence phenomenon for the gradient of approximate solutions to second order elliptic boundary value problems. An approach is proposed how to use the superconvergence in practical computations.
