Comparison of cubic Hermite finite element and cubic B-spline finite element (regarding condition number of stiffness matrix)
Background:
Consider the one-dimensional second-order elliptic PDE,
$$
\left\{\!\!
\begin{aligned}
& -(a(x)u'(x))'+b(x)u(x)=f(x)\qquad x\in[0,1]\\
& u(0)=u(1)=0
\end{aligned}
