Abstract

In the framework of the Jacobi-weighted Besov spaces, we analyze the convergence of the $h$-$p$ version of finite element solutions on quasi-uniform meshes and the lower and upper bounds of errors for elliptic problems on polygons. Both lower and upper bounds are proved to be optimal in $h$ and $p$, which leads to the optimal convergence of the $h$-$p$ version of the finite element method with quasi-uniform meshes for elliptic problems on polygons. The results proved for the $h$-$p$ version include the $h$-version with quasi-uniform meshes and the $p$-version with quasi-uniform degrees as two special cases.
