AbstractThe elliptic equation under the nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition in 2D and 3D cases is solved. A rectangular nonuniform partition of a domain and polylinear finite elements are taken. For the interpolant of the exact solution u, a priori error estimates are proved provided that u possesses a weakened smoothness. Next error estimates are in terms of data. An estimate is established for the right–hand side f of the equation having a generalized smoothness. Error estimates are derived in the case of f which is not compatible with the boundary function. The proofs are based on some propositions from the theory of functions. The corresponding lower error estimates are also included; they justify the sharpness of the estimates without the logarithmic multipliers. Finally, we prove similar results in the case of 2D linear finite elements and a uniform partition.

AbstractIn this article, for an elliptic equation with varying coefficients, we first derive an interpolation fundamental estimate for the $\mathcal{P}_{2}(x,y)\otimes \mathcal{P}_{2}(z)$P2(x,y)⊗P2(z) pentahedral finite element over uniform partitions of the domain. Then combined with the estimate for the $W^{2,1}$W2,1-seminorm of the discrete Green function, superconvergence of the function value between the finite element approximation and the corresponding interpolant to the true solution is given.
