Abstract:
Finite element derivative superconvergent points for the Poisson equation under local rectangular mesh (in the two dimensional case) and local brick mesh (in the three dimensional situation) are investigated. All superconvergent points for the finite element space of any order that is contained in the tensor-product space and contains the intermediate family can be predicted. In case of the serendipity family, the results are given for finite element spaces of order below 7. Any finite element space that contains the complete polynomial space will have at least all superconvergent points of the related serendipity family.References
