Superconvergence of a finite element approximation to the solution of a Sobolev equation in a single space variable

Superconvergence of a finite element approximation to the solution of a Sobolev equation in a single space variable

A standard Galerkin method for a quasilinear equation of Sobolev type using continuous, piecewise-polynomial spaces is presented and analyzed. Optimal order error estimates are established in various norms, and nodal superconvergence is demonstrated. Discretization in time by explicit single-step methods is discussed.
