The P and H-P Versions of the Finite Element Method: Basic Principles and Properties

Abstract

In this paper, the fundamental theoretical ideas behind the relatively recent p- version and h-p version are discussed. In the p-version, a fixed mesh is used and p is allowed to increase. The h-p version combines both approaches. The basic properties and characteristics of these newer versions, especially in areas where their behavior is significantly different from that of the h-version, are described and explained.
