  • Abstract

A counterexample is constructed. It confirms that the error of conforming finite element solution is proportional to the coefficient jump, when solving interface elliptic equations. The Scott-Zhang operator is applied to a nonconforming finite element. It is shown that the nonconforming finite element provides the optimal order approximation in interpolation, in L2-projection, and in solving elliptic differential equation, independent of the coefficient jump in the elliptic differential equation. Numerical tests confirm the theoretical finding.
