On improved P1-interpolation error estimates in W1,p (0, 1): application to the finite element method

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Based on a new Taylor-like formula, we derived an improved interpolation error estimate in W1,p . We compare it with the classical error estimates based on the standard Taylor formula, and also with the corresponding interpolation error estimate, derived from the mean value theorem. We then assess the improvement in accuracy we can get from this formula, leading to a significant reduction in finite element computation costs.
