Abstract

In our previous works, we proved that the inverse of the stiffness matrix of an hh-version finite element method (FEM) applied to scalar second order elliptic boundary value problems can be approximated at an exponential rate in the block rank by H\mathcal{H}-matrices. Here, we improve on this result in multiple ways: (1) The class of meshes is significantly enlarged and includes certain exponentially graded meshes. (2) The dependence on the polynomial degree pp of the discrete ansatz space is made explicit in our analysis. (3) The bound for the approximation error is sharpened, and (4) the proof is simplified.
