Flexible Ultra-convergence Structures for the Finite Volume Element Method

Abstract

We introduce a novel class of ultra-convergent structures for the Finite Volume Element (FVE) method. These structures are characterized by asymmetric and optional superconvergent points. We establish a crucial relationship between ultra-convergence properties and the orthogonality condition. Remarkably, within this framework, certain FVE schemes achieve simultaneous superconvergence of both derivatives and function values at designated points, as demonstrated in Example 2. This is a phenomenon rarely observed in other numerical methods. Theoretical validation of these findings is provided through the proposed Generalized M-Decomposition (GMD). Numerical experiments effectively substantiate our results.
