A generic error estimate has been established for the HDM in $L^2$, discrete $H^1$ and $H^2$ norms based on three properties in literature. In this paper, we derive improved $L^2$ and $H^1$ error estimates in the framework of HDM and apply it to various schemes. Since an improved $L^2$ estimate is not expected in general for finite volume method (FVM), here we consider a modified FVM by changing the quadrature of the source term and prove a superconvergence result for this modified FVM. We also show that the non-conforming Morley element fit into the framework of HDM.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-11-13T17:42:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "65N08", "65N12", "65N15", "65N30" ], "keywords": [ "hessian discretisation method", "error estimate", "finite volume method", "order linear elliptic equations enables", "fourth order linear elliptic equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
