Abstract
For a singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem with exponential and characteristic boundary layers on the unit square a discretisation based on layer-adapted meshes is considered. The standard Galerkin method and the local projection scheme are analysed for a general class of higher order finite elements based on local polynomial spaces lying between \({\mathcal{P}}_{p}\) and \({\mathcal{Q}}_{p}\). We will present two different interpolation operators for these spaces. The first one is based on values at vertices, weighted edge integrals and weighted cell integrals while the second one is based on point values only. The influence of the point distribution on the errors will be studied numerically. We show convergence of order p in the \(\epsilon \)-weighted energy norm for both the Galerkin method and the local projection scheme. Furthermore, the local projection methods provides a supercloseness result of order p in local projection norm.
