Abstract

A priori error estimates in the maximum norm are derived for Galerkin approximations to solutions of two-point boundary value problems. The class of Galerkin spaces considered includes almost all (quasiuniform) piecewise-polynomial spaces that are used in practice. The estimates are optimal in the sense that no better rate of approximation is possible in general in the spaces employed.
