This article discusses an immersed finite element (IFE) space introduced for solving a second-order elliptic boundary value problem with discontinuous coefficients (interface problem). The IFE space is non-conforming and its partition can be independent of the interface. The error estimates for the interpolation of a function in the usual Sobolev space indicate that this IFE space has an approximation capability similar to that of the standard conforming linear finite element space based on body-fit partitions. Numerical examples of the related finite element method based on this IFE space are provided. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
