Local error bounds for post-processed finite element calculations. (English) Zbl 0942.76036

Summary: We derive bounds for the error in the pointwise values of derivatives of a post-processed finite element solution to a potential flow problem, in which the boundary condition is purely normal velocity. Our approach can be modified for problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our numerical experiments produce narrow error bounds at interior points and at points close to or on the boundary.
