Abstract:
By adding a term to the variational equations, we derive a new finite element method for the stationary Stokes equations which eliminates the ${\operatorname {div}}\upsilon = 0$ restriction on the trial functions. The method is described using continuous piecewise linear functions, and the optimal $O(h)$ order of convergence estimate is derived for the error in the ${H^1}(\Omega )$ norm.References
