We study the strong superconvergence of a semidiscrete finite element scheme for linear parabolic problems onQ Ω×0, T, whereΩis a bounded domain inRd d≤4with piecewise smooth boundary. We establish the global two order superconvergence results for the error between the approximate solution and the Ritz projection of the exact solution of our model problem inW1,pΩ andLpQwith 2≤p < ∞and the almost two order superconvergence inW1,∞ΩandLQ.

Results of thep∞case are also included in two space dimensionsd1 or 2. By applying the interpolated postprocessing technique, similar results are also obtained on the error between the interpolation of the approximate solution and the exact solution.

1. Introduction

Consider the following initial boundary value parabolic problem:

ux,0 u0, in Ω,

1.1

whereΩis a bounded domain inRd d ≤ 4with piecewise smooth boundary∂Ω, andA is a second-order symmetric positive definite elliptic operator. Coefficients ofA, fx, tand u0xtogether with their derivatives up to certain order are bounded in order to guarantee our analysis. Note that our assumptions on udo not have any restrictions, since it will be

(2)

shown that approximate solutions considered below are uniformly close to the exact solution and thus only depend on the data of1.1in a neighborhood ofu.

Superconvergence of finite element methods for parabolic problems has been studied in many works. For example, Thom´ee 1, Chen and Huang 2studied superconvergence of the gradient inL2norm. In 1989, Thom´ee et al. 3studied maximum-norm superconvergence of the gradient in piecewise linear finite element approximations of a parabolic problem.

An analogous result was also obtained by Chen 4. Moreover, Li and Wei 5investigated global strong superconvergence of finite element schemes for a class of Sobolev equations in Rd d ≥ 1, and two order superconvergence results are proved inW1,pΩand LpΩ for 2 ≤ p < ∞. In particular, Kwak et al. 6studied superconvergence of a semi-discrete finite element scheme for parabolic problems inR2, in which superconvergence results inW1,pΩ andLpΩare established for 2≤p≤ ∞.

In this paper, we extend superconvergence results obtained in 6. We derive the two order2 ≤ p < ∞and the almost two order p ∞ global superconvergence estimates ofURhuinW1,pΩand in LpQ, whereUis the approximate solution, andRhuis the Ritz projection of the exact solution of 1.1. In addition to the results in 6, we establish two order superconvergence estimates inLp norm for piecewise cubic or higher elements.

Moreover, results of the p ∞ case are also included in two space dimensions d 1 or 2. As an application, by employing the interpolated finite element operatorscf. 7,8 to the approximate solution U in the rectangular mesh, we obtain the two order global superconvergence of the error betweenuand the interpolation ofU. For a general domainΩ, we can also apply the optimal partition to most rectangular meshes to derive one and a half- order superconvergence.

The rest of this paper is organized as follows.Section 2provides some preliminaries.

Several useful lemmas are established in Section 3. In Sections 4 and 5, we derive the superconvergence inW1,pΩandLpQrespectively. Finally, an application is presented in Section 6.

2. Preliminaries

We denoteWm,pΩandHmΩ,m≥0 and 1≤ p≤ ∞, the Sobolev spaces onΩassociated with the norms

·m,p ·Wm,pΩ, ·m·HmΩ, ··L2Ω. 2.1

We useCto denote a generic positive constant independent ofhthat can take different values at different occurrences.

LetTbe a family of quasiuniform triangulation ofΩ,and letShH01Ωbe thekth k≥1degree finite element space satisfying the following propertiescf. 9,10.

Lemma 2.1. For allk≥1,1≤sk1 and 1p≤ ∞, we have

χ∈Sinfh

v−χ0,phvχ1,p

Chsvs,p, ∀v∈Ws,pΩ∩H01Ω. 2.5

Lemma 2.2. For allχSh, we have

χ1,pCh−d/pχ1,1, 2≤p <∞, p p

p−1, 2.6

χ0,∞Ch−d/pχ0,p, 2≤p <∞. 2.7

Given a functionuWk1,pΩ∩H01Ω, we define its Ritz projectionRhuShthat satisfies

A

Rhuu, χ

0, ∀χ∈Sh. 2.8

Then we get the following well-known estimate:

Rhuu0,phRhuu1,pChk1uk1,p, 1< p <∞. 2.9

(4)

Moreover, by using the duality argument and2.9, it is true that forvWl,pΩ,

|Rhuu, v| ≤Chk1luk1,pvl,p, 0≤lk−1, 2.10

where 1< p <∞and 1/p1/p1.

We now turn to the finite element scheme of1.1.

andut0 f0Au0is given by1.1.

3. Auxiliary Lemmas

To investigate the superconvergence of finite element approaches for parabolic problems, here and throughout the paper, we decompose the error asU−u U−RhuRhu−u ξη and estimateξin a superconvergent order.

We start with the superconvergence of initial value errors.

Lemma 3.1. LetuandUbe solutions of 1.1and2.11, respectively. Then the following estimates are true:

Ut0 Rhut0, 3.1

ξ01

⎧⎨

Chk2ut0k1, k >1,

Ch2ut02, k1, 3.2

ξ00,pChk3ut0k1,p, 2≤p <∞, k >2. 3.3

Proof. From2.12and2.11, we have for allχSh

Rhut0, χ

f0, χ

A U0, χ

Ut0, χ

, 3.4

and thus3.1holds.

(5)

By the definition ofξ,2.11,2.8,1.1, and the definition ofη, we obtain that for all χSh,

ξt, χ A

ξ, χ

Ut, χ A

U, χ

Rhut, χ

3.5

Lett0, and note thatξt0 0, we obtain A

ξ0, χ

ηt0, χ

, χSh. 3.6

Then by takingχξ0, it follows from2.10that

ξ021

⎧⎨

Chk2ut0k1ξ01, k >1,

Ch2ut02ξ0, k1, 3.7

which implies3.2.

Finally we turn to the proof of3.3. To do so, we construct an auxiliary problem. Let Φ∈W01,pΩsatisfy

Av,Φ v, φ

, vH01Ω, 3.8

and hence by the regularity estimate, it holds that

Φ2,p0,p, 3.9 wherepp/p−1.

Therefore, it follows from3.8,2.8,3.6,2.10,2.9, and3.9that forφLpΩ, ξ0, φ

which implies3.3.

The following lemma gives superconvergence estimates forξttand∇ξ.

Integrating both sides of 3.13 with respect to t and applying the integration by parts argument, we obtain that from3.1and2.10

Therefore, the proof is completed by eliminatingεξt21and applying the Gronwall inequality.

Furthermore, the result below fork 1 can then be obtained by replacing2.10by 2.9in the proof ofLemma 3.2.

In this Section, we derive the two order global superconvergence2≤p <∞and the almost two order global superconvergencep∞estimates onξinW1,pΩ.

Theorem 4.1. Under the assumptions that utWk1,pΩ, uttHk1Ω, and utttL20, t;Hk1Ω, we have ford4 and 2p <∞,

ξ1,pChk2, k >1. 4.1

Proof. We first introduce an auxiliary problem.

ForψLpΩ, letψxbe an arbitrary component of∇ψ, and letΨ ∈W01,pΩbe the solution of

Av,Ψ − v, ψx

, ∀v∈H01Ω. 4.2

The following priori estimate holds:

Ψ1,p

0,p. 4.3

Letin4.2, it follows from the integration by parts argument,2.8and3.5that ξx, ψ

From2.10, the stability ofRhand4.3, we obtain

ηt, RhΨ

Chk2utk1,pRhΨ1,p

Chk2utk1,pΨ1,p

Chk2utk1,pψ

0,p.

4.5

On the other hand, forss2 andd1 or 2, ors2d/d−2,ss/s−1,and d3 or 4, Sobolev embedding inequalitiescf. 11,Lemma 3.2, the stability ofRh,and4.3 imply that

−ξt, RhΨ≤t0,sRhΨ0,s

Combining4.4,4.5, and4.6, we have

Chk2. 4.7

Therefore,4.1follows from summing up all componentsξxof∇ξ.

The following theorem can then be obtained immediately by usingLemma 3.2and Theorem 4.1.

Theorem 4.2. Under the assumptions ofLemma 3.2andTheorem 4.1, we have that ford4,

ξ1,QChk2, k >1. 4.8

We now turn to the case ofp∞.

Theorem 4.3. Assume that utLJ;Wk1,pΩ, uttLJ;Hk1Ω, and utttL2J;

Hk1Ω. Then ford1 and 2,

ξLJ;W1,∞ΩChk2−ε, k >1, 4.9

wherepis large enough andε > d/p.

Proof. We first define the Green functions associated with the bilinear formA·,·.

LetGzH01Ωbe the pre-Green function, and letzGzbe the directional derivative of Gz along some direction with respect to z. Let Ghz, ∂zGhzSh be the finite element approximations ofGzandzGz, respectively. Then we know thatcf. 1,12

GhzGhz

Now by definitions of Green functions,3.5, H ¨older’s inequalities,2.10, and3.11, it is true that for allz, t∈Q,

Inequality4.9then follows from4.13and4.15.

By the similar arguments used in the proof of Theorems4.1–4.3andLemma 3.3, we obtain the following results.

Theorem 4.4. Under the assumptions of Theorems4.1–4.3withk1, we have, ford4,

In this section, we establish the strong superconvergence forξinLpQwith 2≤p≤ ∞.

We start with the following two order global superconvergence for 2≤p <∞.

Theorem 5.1. Assume thatut0∈Wk1,pΩ, utLpJ;Wk1,pΩ, uttLpJ;Hk1Ω,and utttLpJ;L20, t;Hk1Ω. Then, ford4 and 2p <∞, it holds that

ξ0,p,QChk3, k >2. 5.1

(10)

Proof. First, we construct an adjoint problem of1.1.

LetWH01Ωsatisfy

v, WtAv, W v, w, vH01Ω, 5.2

WT 0 inΩ. 5.3

By takingsTt,5.2and5.3can then be reduced to the weak form of1.1and thus we have the regularity estimatecf. 2

After integrating int, we have

ξt, RhWWdt. 5.6

Here the fact thatWT 0 was used.

Now we estimate the right-hand side of5.6term by term.

First of all, by H ¨older’s inequalities,3.3, and the Sobolev embedding inequality, we obtain that

−ξ0, W0≤ ξ00,pW00,p

Therefore,5.1holds by combining all estimates together with5.4and5.6.

(12)

We finally establish the almost two order global superconvergence in LQ. We define a functiongtH01Ω,and its finite element approximationght∈Shsatisfy that

v, gt

whereδhδhzxis the discrete Delta function which satisfies δh, χ

Then the following estimate holdscf. 2:

whereφis the weight function defined by

Furthermore, we have the following estimate.

Lemma 5.2. For 1< q <2 and its conjugate indexq, we have g

Note thatcf. 2

the proof is then completed by the norm equivalence inH01Ω∩W2,qΩ.

(13)

The following theorem gives the superconvergence ofξinLQ.

Theorem 5.3. Assume thatut0∈Wk1,pΩandutLpJ;Wk1,pΩ.Then, ford1,2,

Therefore,5.21follows from5.23,5.24, and5.25.

6. An Application

In this section, we apply the interpolation postprocessing technique to improve the accuracy of the approximate solutionU. LetTh be a quasi-uniform rectangular partition ofΩ ⊂ R2, and letShbe the space of continuous piecewise polynomial:

where

Qk span

We introduce the higher interpolation operator I2hk2, which satisfies the following propertiescf. 7,8, fork≥1, 2≤p≤ ∞, and l0,1,

In addition, we assume thatAu−Δuin1.1. By replacing the approximate solution Uby its interpolationI2hk2U, we can then establish the two order and the almost two order global superconvergence ofuI2hk2UinW1,pΩandLpQfor 2≤p≤ ∞.

(15)

Theorem 6.1. Under the assumptions of Theorems4.1–4.4,5.1and5.3, we have foruWk3,pΩ∩ LpJ;Wk3,pΩwithk >1 anduW3,pΩ∩LpJ;W3,pΩwithk1,

Proof. From6.4, we have

which together with the triangular inequality and6.5yields that uI2hk2U

Moreover, for 2≤p≤ ∞, the following estimates holdcf. 7,8:

Hence the proof is completed by6.3and the estimates forξin Theorems4.1–4.4,5.1, and5.3.
