A two-level รฟnite element method is introduced and its application to the Helmholtz equation is considered. The method retains the desirable features of the Galerkin method enriched with residual-free bubbles, while it is not limited to discretizations using elements with simple geometry. The method

โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
A new class of C^n^ continuous interpolations is presented. These interpolations consist of two or more Lagrangian interpolations blended by pseudo Hermitian interpolation. Using this class of interpolations a new C^n^ family of displacement type elements is developed. The properties of this new family of elements such as their precision and their superconvergent points are discussed. Some solutions to the corner elements problem and implication of different boundary conditions are proposed. Using this new kind of element, several examples of deflection of elastic beams and plates are treated, the results of which are encouraging. Copyright ยฉ 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
