Finite element approximation of elliptic problems with Dirac measure terms in weighted spaces: applications to one- and three-dimensional coupled problems. (English) Zbl 1246.65215

This paper deals with the stability and the convergence rates of the finite element approximation of elliptic problems involving Dirac measures. In order to verify the theoretical estimates the author searches the standard finite element solution on uniform and graded meshes and reported the errors in different weighted norms. Also an approach to apply the theoretical results to certain coupled problems involving fluid flow in porous three-dimensional media with one-dimensional fractures is presented.
