Abstract

The boundary concentrated finite element method is a variant of the hp-version of the FEM that is particularly suited for the numerical treatment of elliptic boundary value problems with smooth coefficients and boundary conditions with low regularity or non-smooth geometries. In this paper we consider the case of the discretization of a Dirichlet problem with exact solution u ∈ H 1+� () and investigate the local error in various norms. We show that for a � > 0 these norms behave as O(N −�−� ), where N denotes the dimension of the underlying finite element space. Furthermore, we present a new Gauss-Lobatto based interpolation operator that is adapted to the case non-uniform polynomial degree distributions.
