We consider non-constant coefficient elliptic equations of the type -div(a \bigtriangledown u) = f$, and employ the P-version of the finite element method as a numerical method for the approximate solutions. To compute the integrals in the variational form of the discrete problem we need the numerical quadrature rule scheme. In practice the integrations are seldom computed exactly. In this paper, we give an $L_2(\Omega)$-error estimate of $\Vert u = \tilde{u}_p \Vert_{0,omega}$ in comparison with $\Vert u = \tilde{u}_p \Vert_{1,omega}$, under numerical quadrature rules which are used for calculating the integrations in each of the stiffness matrix and the load vector.

We consider the hp-version to solve non-constant coefficient elliptic equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded, convex polygonal domain $\Omega$ in $R^{2}.$ To compute the integrals in the variational formulation of the discrete problem we need the numerical quadrature rule scheme. In this paler we consider a family $G_{p}= {I_{m}}$ of numerical quadrature rules satisfying certain properties. When the numerical quadrature rules $I_{m}{\in}G_{p}$ are used for calculating the integrals in the stiffness matrix of the variational form we will give its variational fore and derive an error estimate of ${\parallel}u-\tilde{u}^h_p{\parallel}_0,{\Omega}'$.
