Abstract

We formulate a least-squares mixed finite element method over quadrilaterals. The superconvergence result obtaineded between the finite element approximation and our appropriate-chosen interpolation of the exact solution indicates an accuracy of O(hr+2) for the least-squares mixed finite element approximation if Raviart--Thomas or Brezzi-Douglas-Fortin-Marini elements of order r are employed with optimal error estimate of O(hr+1). Numerical results are included.
