Abstract

A Pk+2P_{k+2} polynomial lifting operator is defined on polygons and polyhedrons. It lifts discontinuous polynomials inside the polygon/polyhedron and on the faces to a one-piece Pk+2P_{k+2} polynomial. With this lifting operator, we prove that the weak Galerkin finite element solution, after this lifting, converges at two orders higher than the optimal order, in both L2L^2 and H1H^1 norms. The theory is confirmed by numerical solutions of 2D and 3D Poisson equations.
