Abstract
The class of anisotropic meshes we conceived abandons the regular assumption. Some distinct properties of Carey’s element are used to deal with the superconvergence for a class of two-dimensional second-order elliptic boundary value problems on anisotropic meshes. The optimal results are obtained and numerical examples are given to confirm our theoretical analysis.
