P- And Hp- Finite Element Methods: Theory and Applications to Solid and Fluid MechanicsThis book is an introduction to the mathematical analysis of p and hp finite elements applied to elliptic problems in solid and fluid mechanics. In the last decade the p , hp , and spectral element methods have emerged as efficient and robust approximation methods for several classes of problems in this area. The aim of this book is to establish the exponential convergence of such methods for problems with the piecewise analytic solutions which
