A priori error estimates for Lagrange interpolation on triangles. (Q499035): Difference between revisions

Since the maximum angle condition is not necessary for the convergence of the finite element method, the same authors presented an error estimate of linear Lagrange interpolation of a triangle in [Japan J. Ind. Appl. Math. 31, No. 1, 193--210 (2014; Zbl 1295.65011)]. Now the authors extend this result to higher-order Lagrange interpolation. A new a priori error estimate is derived, in which the error bound is expressed in terms of the diameter and circumradius of the triangle. No geometric condition on the triangle is imposed.
