The meshes are assumed to satisfy two standard conditions: a local quasi-uniformity property and the Xu-Zikatanov condition ensuring that the stiffness matrix associated with the Poisson equation is an M-matrix. A discrete maximum principle is rigorously established in any space dimension for convection-diffusion-reaction problems. We prove that the shock-capturing finite element solution converges to that without shock-capturing if the cell Péclet numbers are sufficiently small. Moreover, in the diffusion-dominated regime, the difference between the two finite element solutions super-converges with respect to the actual approximation error. Numerical experiments on test problems with stiff layers confirm the sharpness of the a priori error estimates. date: 2005-06-07 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/S0025-5718-05-01761-8 vfaculties: VMPS oa_status: gold full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open verified: verified_manual elements_source: WoS-Lite elements_id: 850201 doi: 10.1090/S0025-5718-05-01761-8 lyricists_name: Burman, Erik lyricists_id: ENBUR31 full_text_status: restricted publication: Mathematics of Computation volume: 74 number: 252 pagerange: 1637-1652 issn: 0025-5718 citation: Burman, E; Ern, A; (2005) Stabilized Galerkin approximation of convection-diffusion-reaction equations: Discrete maximum principle and convergence.
