TL;DR: A finite element multigrid method on quasi-uniform grids that obtains convergence in the $H^1(\O)$ norm for any positive $\epsilon$ when f is in H^m(\O), which can be generalized to other equations and other boundary conditions.
Abstract: We consider the Poisson equation $-\Delta u = f$ with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition on a two-dimensional polygonal domain $\O$. We develop a finite element multigrid method on quasi-uniform grids that obtains ${\cal{O}}(h^{m+1-\epsilon})$ convergence in the $H^1(\O)$ norm for any positive $\epsilon$ when $f \in H^m(\O)$. The cost of the method is proportional to the number of elements in the triangulation. The results of this paper can be generalized to other equations and other boundary conditions.
