Abstract

In this article, we propose a practical scheme for constructing global superconvergent approximations for Maxwell’s equations in both two and three dimensions. Superconvergence of order \(O(h^{p+1})\) is established in a discrete norm. This superconvergence result, combined with the polynomial-preserving recovery postprocessing technique, leads to global superconvergence of order \(O(h^{p+1})\) for recovered quantities in energy norms. Numerical experiments are provided to confirm our theoretical findings.
