摘要
A systematic and analytic process is conducted to identify natural superconvergence points of high degree polynomial C(0) finite elements in a three-dimensional setting. This identification is based upon explicitly constructing an orthogonal decomposition of local finite element spaces. Derivative and function value superconvergence points are investigated for both the Poisson and the Laplace equations. Superconvergence results are reported for hexahedral, pentahedral, and tetrahedral elements up to certain degrees.
