✦ Synopsis


In this paper, we present improved a priori error estimates for a nonsymmetric interior penalty Galerkin method (NIPG) with super-penalty for the problem -∆u = f in Ω and u = g on ∂Ω. Using piecewise polynomials of degree less than or equal to r, our new L 2error estimate is of order (h/r) r+1/2 when g ∈ H r+1/2 (∂Ω) and is optimal, i.e., of order (h/r) r+1 when g ∈ H r+1 (∂Ω), where h denotes the mesh size. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
