  • Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the analysis of the convergence of a low order mixed finite element method for the Monge-Ampère equation. The unknowns in the formulation are the scalar variable and the discrete Hessian. The distinguished feature of the method is that the unknowns are discretized using only piecewise linear functions. A superconvergent gradient recovery technique is first applied to the scalar variable, then a piecewise gradient is taken, the projection of which gives the discrete Hessian matrix. For the analysis we make a discrete elliptic regularity assumption, supported by numerical experiments, for the discretization based on gradient recovery of an equation in non divergence form. A numerical example which confirms the theoretical results is presented.

For the analysis we make a discrete elliptic regularity assumption, supported by numerical experiments, for the discretization based on gradient recovery of an equation in non divergence form.
