 Quadrature based finite element methods for linear parabolic interface problems Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 2014 Vol. 51, No. 3, 717-737 https://doi.org/10.4134/BKMS.2014.51.3.717Published online May 31, 2014 Bhupen Deka and Ram Charan Deka Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Tezpur University Abstract : We study the effect of numerical quadrature in space on semidiscrete and fully discrete piecewise linear finite element methods for parabolic interface problems. Optimal $L^2(L^2)$ and $L^2(H^1)$ error estimates are shown to hold for semidiscrete problem under suitable regularity of the true solution in whole domain. Further, fully discrete scheme based on backward Euler method has also analyzed and optimal $L^2(L^2)$ norm error estimate is established. The error estimates are obtained for fitted finite element discretization based on straight interface triangles.
