      On integrating by parts, we get the following expression which is better suited for numerical evaluation:

      (1.123)upper F left-parenthesis v right-parenthesis equals minus integral Subscript 0 Superscript script l Baseline u Subscript upper E upper X Baseline v Superscript double-prime Baseline d x period

      We address the following questions: (a) How does the error in energy norm depend on the parameter α, the mesh Δ and the p‐distribution p? and (b) How is this error distributed among the elements? Understanding these relationships is necessary for making sound choices of discretization based on a priori information concerning the regularity of the exact solution.

      We compute the potential energy of the difference between the exact solution and its linear interpolant for the kth element:

pi overbar Subscript upper E upper X Superscript left-parenthesis k right-parenthesis Baseline equals one half integral Subscript x Subscript k Baseline Superscript x Subscript k plus 1 Baseline Baseline left-parenthesis u prime Subscript upper E upper X Baseline minus StartFraction u Subscript upper E upper X Baseline left-parenthesis x Subscript k plus 1 Baseline right-parenthesis minus u Subscript upper E upper X Baseline left-parenthesis x Subscript k Baseline right-parenthesis Over x Subscript k plus 1 Baseline minus x Subscript k Baseline EndFraction right-parenthesis squared d x period

      To obtain the potential energy of the difference between the exact solution and its linear interpolant for the kth element, denoted by pi overbar Subscript upper F upper E Superscript left-parenthesis k right-parenthesis, we need to solve:
