Abstract

We propose a least-squares method involving the recovery of the gradient and possibly the Hessian for elliptic equation in nondivergence form. As our approach is based on the Lax–Milgram theorem with the curl-free constraint built into the target (or cost) functional, the discrete spaces require no inf-sup stabilization. We show that standard conforming finite elements can be used yielding a priori and a posteriori convergence results. We illustrate our findings with numerical experiments with uniform or adaptive mesh refinement.
