For a singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem with exponential and characteristic boundary layers on the unit square a discretisation based on layer-adapted meshes is considered. The standard Galerkin method and the local projection scheme are analysed for a general class of higher order finite elements based on local polynomial spaces lying between Pp and Qp. We will present two diff...

The phenomenon we now know as projection was first observed by Frege in his brief remarks about presupposition in “Sense and Reference.” Frege observes there that the assertion that Kepler died in misery gives rise to the implication that the name Kepler has a referent; but that so too does the assertion that Kepler did not die in misery. Here we have the source of the observation that if p is ...
