We propose a numerical validation of a probabilistic approach applied to estimate the relative accuracy between two Lagrange finite elements $P_k$ and $P_m, (k<m)$. In particular, we show practical cases where finite element $P_{k}$ gives…
We derive an explicit $k-$dependence in $W^{m,p}$ error estimates for $P_k$ Lagrange finite elements. Two laws of probability are established to measure the relative accuracy between $P_{k_1}$ and $P_{k_2}$ finite elements ($k_1 < k_2$) in…

We study finite element approximations of second-order elliptic problems with measure-valued right-hand sides supported on lower-dimensional sets. The exact solution generally lacks $H^1$-regularity due to the source singularity, which…
