Optimal Error Estimates for Linear Parabolic Problems with Discontinuous Coefficients

From MaRDI portal





From the authors' introduction: We propose a finite element discretization for the parabolic interface problem by allowing interface triangles to be curved triangles instead of straight triangles. The analysis presented shows that the finite element solutions approximate the true solutions with an optimal order even if the global regularity is very low. More precisely, for the spatially discrete system, optimal order estimates are derived in \(L^2\) and \(H^1\) norms. The key to the present analysis is the introduction of some auxiliary projections and duality arguments. Further, the discontinuous Galerkin method is analyzed for the time discretization, and related error estimates are obtained. To the best of our knowledge, optimal error estimates using conforming finite element methods for the parabolic interface problem have not been established earlier.
