Abstract

The bilinear finite element methods on appropriately graded meshes are considered both for solving singular and semisingular perturbation problems. In each case, the quasi-optimal order error estimates are proved in the @e-weighted H^1-norm uniformly in singular perturbation parameter @e, up to a logarithmic factor. By using the interpolation postprocessing technique, the global superconvergent error estimates in @e-weighted H^1-norm are obtained. Numerical experiments are given to demonstrate validity of our theoretical analysis.
