Abstract

This paper presents a superconvergence analysis for the Shortley-Weller finite difference approximation of Poisson's equation with unbounded derivatives on a polygonal domain. In this analysis, we first formulate the method as a special finite element/volume method. We then analyze the convergence of the method in a finite element framework. An O(h^1^.^5)-order superconvergence is derived for the solution derivatives in a discrete H^1 norm.
