Abstract:

Based on the bilinear element Q11 and the Q01×Q10 element, a lower order conforming mixed finite element approximation scheme is proposed for nonlinear fourth-order hyperbolic equation. With the help of the known high accuracy results of the about two elements, by use of derivative delivery techniques and the post-processing technique, the superclose and superconvergence with order O(h2) for both scalar original variable u and the intermediate variable v=-Δu in H1 norm and the flux =-▽u in (L2)2 norm are derived in semi-discrete schemes through interpolation and Ritz projection approach, respectively. Meanwhile, the superclose and superconvergence with order O(h2+(Δt)2) for both u and v in HM1 norm and ???20160405-1??? in (L2)2 norm are proved in fully-discrete schemes, which cannot be deduced by the interpolation and Ritz projection alone.
