Abstract

In [3], we showed that overintegration may be needed to obtain the optimal $H^1$ error rate for the $p$ version. In this paper, we examine the convergence of the $p$ version in practice, and comment on the implementation of the $p$ version in commercial codes. Also, we give an example of a problem with extremely rough coefficients, for which overintegration is necessary to obtain the optimal $H^1$ convergence rate.
