Superconvergence of three dimensional Morley elements on cuboid meshes for biharmonic equations (Q2374384): Difference between revisions

A second-order superconvergence for three-dimensional first-order cuboid Morley elements, after a suitable postprocessing, is achieved for biharmonic equations. The analysis depends on the second-order superconvergence for the consistency error and a corrected canonical interpolation operator, which allow to prove supercloseness of second order for the corrected canonical interpolation. The superconvergence result is obtained without an extra boundary condition assumption on exact solutions. Numerical results are presented to support the theoretical results.
