چکیده
We prove a Meyers type regularity estimate for approximate solutions of second order elliptic equations obtained by Galerkin methods. The proofs rely on interpolation results for Sobolev spaces on graphs. Estimates for second order elliptic operators on rather general graphs are also obtained.

Analytic Solution for Hypersonic Flow Past a Slender Elliptic Cone Using Second-Order Perturbation Approximations
An approximate analytical solution is obtained for hypersonic flow past a slender elliptic cone using second-order perturbation techniques in spherical coordinate systems. The analysis is based on perturbations of hypersonic flow past a circular cone aligned with the free stream, the perturbations stemming from the small cross-section eccentricity. By means of hypersonic approximations for the ...
متن کاملUniform Shift Estimates for Transmission Problems and Optimal Rates of Convergence for the Parametric Finite Element Method
Let Ω ⊂ R, d ! 1, be a bounded domain with piecewise smooth boundary ∂Ω and let U be an open subset of a Banach space Y . Motivated by questions in “Uncertainty Quantification,” we consider a parametric family P = (Py)y∈U of uniformly strongly elliptic, second order partial differential operators Py on Ω. We allow jump discontinuities in the coefficients. We establish a regularity result for th...
متن کاملMeyers Type Estimates for Approximate Solutions of Nonlinear Elliptic Equations and Their Applications
In this paper we obtain Meyers type regularity estimates for approximate solutions of nonlinear elliptic equations. These estimates are used in the analysis of a numerical scheme obtained from a numerical homogenization of nonlinear elliptic equations. Numerical homogenization of nonlinear elliptic equations results in discretization schemes that require additional integrability of the approxim...
متن کاملSome new error estimates for Ritz-Galerkin methods with minimal regularity assumptions
New uniform error estimates are established for finite element approximations uh of solutions u of second-order elliptic equations Lu = f using only the regularity assumption ‖u‖1 ≤ c‖f‖−1. Using an Aubin–Nitsche type duality argument we show for example that, for arbitrary (fixed) ε sufficiently small, there exists an h0 such that for 0 < h < h0 ‖u− uh‖0 ≤ ε‖u− uh‖1. Here, ‖ · ‖s denotes the n...
متن کاملWeak Galerkin Finite Element Methods on Polytopal Meshes
This paper introduces a new weak Galerkin (WG) finite element method for second order elliptic equations on polytopal meshes. This method, called WG-FEM, is designed by using a discrete weak gradient operator applied to discontinuous piecewise polynomials on finite element partitions of arbitrary polytopes with certain shape regularity. The paper explains how the numerical schemes are designed ...
