Abstract

Spectral element approximations for triangles are not yet as mature as for quadrilaterals. Here we compare different algorithms and show that using an integration rule based on Gauss-points for simplices is of interest. We point out that this can be handled efficiently and allows to recover the convergence rate theoretically expected, even with curved elements.
