Apr 6, 2011 at 8:07 comment added Zen Harper (2) and (3) will not be equivalent in general; you need appropriate boundary conditions. I think that's what this whole thing is all about.

Apr 1, 2011 at 16:50 comment added kakaz @WhitAngl - Yes You can. Why not. But what conditions do You have on boundary to obey for the first order difference?
Apr 1, 2011 at 15:10 comment added WhitAngl Thanks - why does it allows rougher elements ? If the basis functions are constant per triangle, they are infinitely differentiable (except at triangle boundaries - is it a problem ?). Can't we directly solve for the laplacian with constant basis functions ?

Mar 31, 2011 at 19:19 comment added Dirk Well, that way you need one order of differentiability less for $u$ which allows rougher elements. Moreover, since integration by parts holds, both left hand sides are the same and not doing it will lead to the same linear system (if $u$ or its ansatz functions are regular enough).
