Superconvergence of immersed finite volume methods for one-dimensional interface problems

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a class of high order immersed finite volume methods (IFVM) for one-dimensional interface problems. We show the optimal convergence of IFVM in H1 and L2 norms. We also prove some superconvergence results of IFVM. To be more precise, the IFVM solution is superconvergent of order p+2 at the roots of generalized Lobatto polynomials, and the flux is superconvergent of order p+1 at generalized Gauss points on each element including the interface element. Furthermore, for diffusion interface problems, the convergence rates for IFVM solution at the mesh points and the flux at generalized Gaussian points can both be raised to 2p. These superconvergence results are consistent with those for the standard finite volume methods. Numerical examples are provided to confirm our theoretical analysis.


The authors propose a unified approach to study a class of high order immersed finite volume methods (IFVM) for one-dimensional interface problems. Only the main results are reviewed here. Using generalized Lobatto polynomials as the trial function space and the generalized Gauss points as the control volume, they prove the continuity of the associated bilinear form and establish the optimal convergence rate of the IFV approximation, relative to the \(H^1\)-norm and the \(L^2\)-norm. Some superconvergence properties of the IFVM are derived. Numerical examples are given as illustrations.
