A local error analysis of the boundary concentrated FEM

The boundary concentrated finite element method is
a variant of the hp-version of the FEM that is
particularly suited for the numerical treatment of
elliptic boundary value problems with smooth
coefficients and boundary conditions with low
regularity or non-smooth geometries. In this paper
we consider the case of the discretization of a
Dirichlet problem with exact solution
$u \in H^{1+\delta}(\Omega)$ and investigate the
local error in various norms. We show that for
a $\beta > 0$ these norms behave as
$O(N^{−\delta−\beta})$, where $N$ denotes the
dimension of the underlying finite element space.
Furthermore, we present a new Gauss-Lobatto based
interpolation operator that is adapted to the
case non-uniform polynomial degree distributions.
