Roos" ], "comment": "13 pages", "categories": [ "math.NA" ], "abstract": "Error estimates of finite element methods for reaction-diffusion problems are often realised in the related energy norm. In the singularly perturbed case, however, this norm is not adequate. A different scaling of the $H^m$ seminorm for $2m$-th order problems leads to a balanced norm which reflects the layer behaviour correctly. We prove error estimates in such balanced norms and improve thereby existing estimates known in literature.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-26T09:51:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "65N12", "65N15", "65N30" ], "keywords": [ "higher order reaction-diffusion problems", "finite element methods", "error estimates", "balanced norm", "th order problems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
