## Abstract We establish some optimal __a priori__ error estimates on some variants of the eXtended Finite Element Method (Xfem), namely the Xfem with a cutβoff function and the standard Xfem with a fixed enrichment area. Both the LamΓ© system (homogeneous isotropic elasticity) and the Laplace probl

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper a family of higher-order quadrilaterals for the finite element analysis of plane elasticity problems are developed, using the displacement method formulation. The number of nodes and the number of elements are fixed, and refinement is achieved by adding derivatives of the nodal displacements as degrees of freedom at the nodes. It is shown that a higher rate of convergence is achieved compared with existing h-and p-versions of the finite element method. Applications to stress concentration and stress singularity are presented and the condition number is checked.

The article is devoted to the study of convergence properties of a Finite Volume Method (FVM) using Voronoi boxes for discretization. The approach is based on the construction of a new nonconforming Finite Element Method (FEM), such that the system of linear equations coincides completely with that
We give a new analysis of a nonconforming Galerkin finite element method for solving linear elliptic singularly perturbed boundary value problems for rectangular domains. In the case of ordinary boundary layers the method is shown to be convergent uniformly with respect to the perturbation parameter
