L. Bales et I. Lasiecka, NEGATIVE NORM ESTIMATES FOR FULLY DISCRETE FINITE-ELEMENT APPROXIMATIONS TO THE WAVE-EQUATION WITH NONHOMOGENEOUS L(2) DIRICHLET BOUNDARY DATA, Mathematics of computation, 64(209), 1995, pp. 89-115
This paper treats time and space finite element approximations of the
solution to the nonhomogeneous wave equation with L(2) boundary terms
and smooth right-hand side. For the case of L(2) boundary data, the ra
tes of convergence in negative norms are derived. In the case of smoot
h forcing term and zero boundary data, optimal rates of convergence in
''positive'' norms are provided.
