We consider a mixed finite element method for the Stokes problem in a polygonal domain Q cz U An inf-sup condition is established which fits into the abstract jramework oj Babuska and Brezzi Using hnear finite éléments, we obtain O{h*)-error estimâtes for the energy norm of the velocity and the L-norm of the pressure The exponent a only dépends on thegreatest intenor angle at a corner of Cl andequals 1 ifCl is convex The analysis can be extended to the use of quadratic finite éléments for the velocity Resumé — Nous considérons une méthode d'éléments finis mixtes pour les équations de Stokes dans un polygone Q c R On établit une condition du type inf-sup qui permet Vapplication des résultats abstraits de Babuska et Brezzi Pour les éléments finis linéaires, nous démontrons une majoration d'erreur d'ordre O(h)pour la norme H du champ de vitesse et pour la norme L de la pression Le nombre a dépend seulement du plus grand angle intérieur aux sommets de Q, et a = 1 si Q est convexe L'analyse s* étend aux éléments finis quadratiques pour la vitesse

A new positive definite semi-discrete mixed finite element solution for parabolic equations

In this paper, a positive definite semi-discrete mixed finite element method was presented for two-dimensional parabolic equations. In the new positive definite systems, the gradient equation and flux equations were separated from their scalar unknown equations.  Also, the existence and uniqueness of the semi-discrete mixed finite element solutions were proven. Error estimates were also obtaine...

A Posteriori Error Estimator for Mixed Approximation of the Navier-Stokes Equations with the Boundary Condition

In this paper, we introduce the Navier-Stokes equations with a new boundary condition. In this context, we show the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the weak formulation associated with the proposed problem. To solve this latter, we use the discretization by mixed finite element method. In addition, two types of a posteriori error indicator are introduced and are shown to give global...

Optimal order finite element approximation for a hyperbolic‎ ‎integro-differential equation

‎Semidiscrete finite element approximation of a hyperbolic type‎ ‎integro-differential equation is studied. The model problem is‎ ‎treated as the wave equation which is perturbed with a memory term.‎ ‎Stability estimates are obtained for a slightly more general problem.‎ ‎These, based on energy method, are used to prove optimal order‎ ‎a priori error estimates.‎

VARIATIONAL DISCRETIZATION AND MIXED METHODS FOR SEMILINEAR PARABOLIC OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH INTEGRAL CONSTRAINT

The aim of this work is to investigate the variational discretization and mixed finite element methods for optimal control problem governed by semi linear parabolic equations with integral constraint. The state and co-state are approximated by the lowest order Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is not discreted. Optimal error estimates in L2 are established for the state...

A Dual-Mixed Approximation Method for a Three-Field Model of a Nonlinear Generalized Stokes Problem

In this work a dual-mixed approximation of a nonlinear generalized Stokes problem is studied. The problem is analyzed in Sobolev spaces which arise naturally in the problem formulation. Existence and uniqueness results are given and error estimates are derived. It is shown that both lowest-order and higher-order mixed finite elements are suitable for the approximation method. Numerical experime...

A posteriori error estimates of stabilized low-order mixed finite elements for the Stokes eigenvalue problem

In this paper we obtain a priori and a posteriori error estimates for stabilized loworder mixed finite element methods for the Stokes eigenvalue problem. We prove the convergence of the method and a priori error estimates for the eigenfunctions and the eigenvalues. We define an error estimator of the residual type which can be computed locally from the approximate eigenpair and we prove that, u...
