Zm. Zhang et Jz. Zhu, ANALYSIS OF THE SUPERCONVERGENT PATCH RECOVERY TECHNIQUE AND A-POSTERIORI ERROR ESTIMATOR IN THE FINITE-ELEMENT METHOD .1., Computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering, 123(1-4), 1995, pp. 173-187
This is the first in a series of two papers in which the patch recover
y technique proposed by Zienkiewicz and Zhu is analyzed. In this work
it is proved that the recovered derivative by the least-squares fittin
g is superconvergent for the two-point boundary value problems. Furthe
r, the a posteriori error estimator based on the recovery technique is
shown to be asymptotically exact. This confirms the computational res
ults obtained in [1, 2].
