The space-time least-squares finite element methods are constructed for the advection-diffusion equation by using both linear shape functions and quadratic B-spline shape functions. Two test problems are studied to demonstrate the accuracy of the present methods. Results of the two schemes have been compared. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
