Postprocessing schemes for some mixed finite elements. (English) Zbl 0717.65081

The author discusses some mixed finite element approximations of two model problems i.e. Poisson’s equation and the biharmonic equation. Some new postprocessing schemes are presented and performed separately on each element so that one can obtain a considerably better approximation for the scalar variable than the original one.
