Abstract

For second order linear elliptic problems over smooth domains, it is well known that the rate of convergence of the error in the $L_2$norm is one order higher than that in the $H^1$norm. For polygonal domains with reentrant corners, it has been shown in [15] that this extra order cannot be fully recovered when the h-version is used. We present theoretical and computational examples showing the sharpness of our results.
