A Rationale for p-Refinement with the Vector Helmholtz Equation and Two Dimensional Vector Finite Elements
Abstract
A preliminary study of p-refinement with vector finite elements is reported. Results suggest that improved accuracy can be obtained from representations employing a mixture of polynomial orders instead of a uniform polynomial order. Results also suggest that it might be possible to jump directly from the local error in a p=0 expansion to a final representation employing 5 or more polynomial orders. In addition, a new set of hierarchical curl-conforming vector basis functions is proposed.
