A Priori and a Posteriori Error Analysis for Generic Linear Elliptic Problems
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper, a priori error analysis has been examined for the continuous Galerkin finite element method which is used for solving a generic scalar and a generic system of linear elliptic equations. We derived optimal order a priori error bounds in (energy) norm utilising standard a priori error analysis techniques and tools. Also, a posteriori error analysis is investigated for a generic scalar linear elliptic equation and for a generic system of linear elliptic equations. We derived optimal residual-based a posteriori error estimates energy technique in norm
