A simple third order compact finite element method for 1D BVP
share
A simple third order compact finite element method is proposed for one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems. The key idea is based on the interpolation error estimate, which can be related to the source term. Thus, a simple posterior error analysis or a modified basis functions based on original piecewise linear basis function will lead to a third order accurate solution in the L^2 norm, and second order in the H^1 or the energy norm. Numerical examples have confirmed our analysis.
