Abstract

A discretization scheme, which relates the mixed finite element method with cell-centered finite difference and finite volume element methods, is proposed for second-order elliptic equations on rectangular domains with locally refined composite grids. Optimal order error estimates and superconvergence results are established, both in L2 and pointwise along special Gauss-line loci. These error estimates hold for discontinuous piecewise constant conductivity under some special assumptions about solutions.
