Abstract: This paper focuses on the analysis of conforming virtual element methods for general second-order linear elliptic problems with rough source terms and applies it to a Poisson inverse source problem with rough measurements. For the forward problem, when the source term belongs to H1(Omega), the right-hand side for the discrete approximation defined through polynomial projections is not meaningful even for standard conforming virtual element method. The modified discrete scheme in this paper introduces a novel companion operator in the context of conforming virtual element method and allows data in H1(Omega). This paper has {it three} main contributions. The {it first} contribution is the design of a conforming companion operator J from the {it conforming virtual element space} to the Sobolev space V:=H01(Omega), a modified virtual element scheme, and the extit{a priori} error estimate for the Poisson problem in the best-approximation form without data oscillations. The {it second} contribution is the extension of the extit{a priori} analysis to general second-order elliptic problems with source term in V. The {it third} contribution is an application of the companion operator in a Poisson inverse source problem when the measurements belong to V. The Tikhonov's regularization technique regularizes the ill-posed inverse problem, and the conforming virtual element method approximates the regularized problem given a finite measurement data. The inverse problem is also discretised using the conforming virtual element method and error estimates are established. Numerical tests on different polygonal meshes for general second-order problems, and for a Poisson inverse source problem with finite measurement data verify the theoretical results.
