A novel characteristic expanded mixed finite element method is proposed and analyzed for reaction-convection-diffusion problems. The diffusion term∇·(a(x,t)∇u)is discretized by the novel expanded mixed method, whose gradient belongs to the square integrable space instead of the classicalH(div;Ω)space and the hyperbolic partd(x)(∂u/∂t)+c(x,t)·∇uis handled by the characteristic method. For a priori error estimates, some important lemmas based on the novel expanded mixed projection are introduced. The fully discrete error estimates based on backward Euler scheme are obtained. Moreover, the optimal a priori error estimates inL2- andH1-norms for the scalar unknownuand a priori error estimates in(L2)2-norm for its gradientλand its fluxσ(the coefficients times the negative gradient) are derived. Finally, a numerical example is provided to verify our theoretical results.

AbstractIt is still an open problem to provea priorierror estimates for finite volume schemes of higher order MUSCL type, including limiters, on unstructured meshes, which show some improvement compared to first order schemes. In this paper we use these higher order schemes for the discretization of convection dominated elliptic problems in a convex bounded domainΩin ℝ2and we can prove such kind of ana priorierror estimate. In the part of the estimate, which refers to the discretization of the convective term, we gainh1/2. Although the original problem is linear, the numerical problem becomes nonlinear, due to MUSCL type reconstruction/limiter technique.
