Abstract

We deal with the virtual element method (VEM) for solving the Poisson equation on a domain with curved boundary. Given a polygonal approximation of the domain , the standard order VEM [6], for increasing, leads to a suboptimal convergence rate. We adapt the approach of [14] to VEM and we prove that an optimal convergence rate can be achieved by using a suitable correction depending on high order normal derivatives of the discrete solution at the boundary edges of , which, to retain computability, is evaluated after applying the projector onto the space of polynomials. Numerical experiments confirm the theory.
