Abstract

Polynomial extensions play a vital role in the analysis of the pand h-pFEM as well as the spectral element method. In this paper, we construct explicitly polynomial extensions on a triangle T and a square S, which lift a polynomial defined on a side @C or on whole boundary of T or S. The continuity of these extension operators from H"0"0^1^2(@C) to H^1(T) or H^1(S) and from H^1^2(@?T) to H^1(T) or from H^1^2(@?S) to H^1(S) is rigorously proved in a constructive way. Applications of these polynomial extensions to the error analysis for the h-pFEM are presented.
