The h-p Version of the Finite Element Method.

Abstract

The paper analyzes the h-p version of the finite element method in two dimensions. It proves that the error of the method measured in the energy norm decreases exponentially. Extensive computational analysis with the code PROBE, shows the practical effectivity of the h-p version, and the applicability of the theoretical asymptotic error estimates in the range of engineering computations and accuracy.
