Abstract

The numerical approximation by a lower order anisotropic nonconforming finite element on appropriately graded meshes are considered for solving singular perturbation problems. The quasi-optimal order error estimates are proved in the @e-weighted H^1-norm valid uniformly, up to a logarithmic factor, in the singular perturbation parameter. 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.
