Abstract

Let Ω be a Lipschitz polyhedral (can be nonconvex) domain in R3, and Vh denotes the finite element space of continuous piecewise linear polynomials. On non-obtuse quasi-uniform tetrahedral meshes, we prove that the finite element projection Rhu of H1(Ω) ∩ (Ω¯) (with Rhu interpolating u at the boundary nodes) satisfies
RhuL(Ω)C| log |‖uL(Ω).
If we further assume uW1,(Ω), then
RhuW1,∞(Ω)C| log |‖uW1,∞(Ω).
