Anisotropic nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart type FEM for second-order elliptic problems (Q764630)

The authors consider the 2D Poisson equation along with homogeneous Dirichlet data and the (triangular) Crouzeix-Raviart element on anisotropic grids (satisfying a maximal angle and a coordinate condition) for its numerical solution. Referring instead of [\textit{T. Apel}, Anisotropic finite elements: Local estimates and applications. Advances in Numerical Mathematics. Leipzig: Teubner. Chemnitz: Technische Univ. (1999; Zbl 0934.65121)], to an interpolation error estimate for anisotropic grids of \textit{D. Shi} and \textit{H. Guan}, [Hokkaido Math. J. 36, No. 4, 687--709 (2007; Zbl 1181.65100)], they prove optimal error estimates for their problem in the element-wise \(H^1\)- and the \(L_2\)-norm. Numerical results verify the theoretical findings.
