Optimal $L^2$ error estimation for the unfitted interface finite element method based on the non-symmetric Nitsche's methods

Abstract: This paper establishes optimal error estimates in the $L<sup>2$ for the non-symmetric Nitsche method in an unfitted interface finite element setting. Extending our earlier work, we give a complete analysis for the Poisson interface model and, by formulating a tailored dual problem that restores adjoint consistency, derive the desired bounds.
