Popis: We show that optimal $L^2$-convergence in the finite element method on quasi-uniform meshes can be achieved if, for some $s_0 > 1/2$, the boundary value problem has the mapping property $H^{-1+s} \rightarrow H^{1+s}$ for $s \in [0,s_0]$. The lack of full elliptic regularity in the dual problem has to be compensated by additional regularity of the exact solution. Furthermore, we analyze for a Dirichlet problem the approximation of the normal derivative on the boundary without convexity assumption on the domain. We show that (up to logarithmic factors) the optimal rate is obtained.
