Weighted Inf-sup Condition and Pointwise Error Estimates for the Stokes Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
Convergence of mixed finite element approximations to the Stokes problem in the primitive variables is examined in maximum norm. Quasioptimal pointwise error estimates are derived for discrete spaces satisfying a weighted inf-sup condition similar to the Babuska -Brezzi condition. The usual techniques employed to prove the inf-sup condition in energy norm can be easily extended to the present situation, thus providing several examples to our abstract framework. The popular Taylor-Hood finite element is the most relevant one.

Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing Preprint Seria Inf-sup stability of geometrically unfitted Stokes finite elements
The paper shows an inf-sup stability property for several well-known 2D and 3D Stokes elements on triangulations which are not fitted to a given smooth or polygonal domain. The property implies stability and optimal error estimates for a class of unfitted finite element methods for the Stokes and Stokes interface problems, such as Nitsche-XFEM or cutFEM. The error analysis is presented for the ...
متن کاملLocal and pointwise error estimates of the local discontinuous Galerkin method applied to the Stokes problem
We prove local and pointwise error estimates for the local discontinuous Galerkin method applied to the Stokes problem in two and three dimensions. By using techniques originally developed by A. Schatz [Math. Comp., 67 (1998), 877-899] to prove pointwise estimates for the Laplace equation, we prove optimal weighted pointwise estimates for both the velocity and the pressure for domains with smoo...

متن کاملSpectral methods in polar coordinates for the Stokes problem. Application to computation in unbounded domains
We present spectral methods for solving the Stokes problem in a circular domain. Their main feature is the uniform inf-sup condition, which allows for optimal error estimates. We apply them to the resolution of exterior problems by coupling with the transparent boundary condition.
متن کاملA face penalty method for the three fields Stokes equation arising from Oldroyd-B viscoelastic flows
We apply the continuous interior penalty method to the three fields Stokes problem. We prove an inf-sup condition for the proposed method leading to optimal a priori error estimates for smooth exact solutions. Moreover we propose an iterative algorithm for the separate solution of the velocities and the pressures on the one hand and the extra-stress on the other. The stability of the iterative ...
