Popis: A quadrature based mixed Petrov-Galerkin finite element method is applied to a fourth order linear non-homogeneous ordinary differential equation with variable coefficients. After employing a splitting technique, a cubic spline trial space and a piecewise linear test space are considered in the method. The integrals are then replaced by Gauss quadrature rule in the formulation itself. Optimal order apriori error estimates in W k,p-norms for k = 0, 1, 2 and 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ are obtained without any restriction on the mesh, not only for the approximation of the exact solution also for its second derivative. These error estimates are validated by a suitable numerical example.
