Abstract:

This paper analyzes mixed methods for the biharmonic problem by means of new families of mesh dependent norms which are introduced and studied. More specifically, several mixed methods are shown to be stable with respect to these norms and, as a consequence, error estimates are obtained in a simple and direct manner.
