Abstract
Error estimates for the space semi-discrete approximation of solutions of the Wave equation in polygons G ? R 2 are presented. Based on corner asymptotics of the solution, it is shown that for continuous, simplicial Lagrangian Finite Elements of polynomial degree p ? 1 with either suitably graded mesh refinement or with bisection tree mesh refinement towards the corners of G , the maximal rate of convergence O ( N - p / 2 ) which is afforded by the Lagrangian Finite Element approximations on quasiuniform meshes for smooth solutions is restored. Dirichlet, Neumann and mixed boundary conditions are considered. Numerical experiments which confirm the theoretical results are presented. Generalizations to nonhomogeneous coefficients and elasticity and electromagnetics are indicated.
