- Abstract
By postprocessing quadratic and eight‐node serendipity finite element solutions on arbitrary triangular and quadrilateral meshes, we obtain new quadratic/serendipity finite volume element solutions for solving anisotropic diffusion equations. The postprocessing procedure is implemented in each element independently, and we only need to solve a 6‐by‐6 (resp. 8‐by‐8) local linear algebraic system for triangular (resp. quadrilateral) element. The novelty of this paper is that, by designing some new quadratic dual meshes, and adding six/eight special constructed element‐wise bubble functions to quadratic/serendipity finite element solutions, we prove that the postprocessed solutions satisfy local conservation property on the new dual meshes. In particular, for any full anisotropic diffusion tensor, arbitrary triangular and quadrilateral meshes, we present a general framework to prove the existence and uniqueness of new quadratic/serendipity finite volume element solutions, which is better than some existing ones. That is, the existing theoretical results are improved, especially we extend the traditional rectangular assumption to arbitrary convex quadrilateral mesh. As a byproduct, we also prove that the new solutions converge to exact solution with optimal convergence rates under H1$$ {H}^1 $$ and L2$$ {L}^2 $$ norms on primal arbitrary triangular/quasi–parallelogram meshes. Finally, several numerical examples are carried out to validate the theoretical findings.
