Abstract

In this paper we consider an intrinsic approach for the direct computation of the fluxes for problems in potential theory. We develop a general method for the derivation of intrinsic conforming and non-conforming finite element spaces and appropriate lifting operators for the evaluation of the right-hand side from abstract theoretical principles related to the second Strang Lemma. This intrinsic finite element method is analyzed and convergence with optimal order is proved.
