We consider the bidimensional Stokes problem for incompressible fluids in stream functionvorticity formulation. For this problem, the classical finite elements method of degree one converges only in O( √ h) for the quadratic norm of the vorticity, if the domain is convex and the solution regular. We

✦ Synopsis
We propose a new analysis for the PSPG method applied to the transient Stokes' problem. Stability and convergence are obtained under different conditions on the discretization parameters depending on the approximation used in space. For the pressure we prove optimal stability and convergence only in the case of piecewise affine approximation under the standard condition on the time-step. Finally we show that the stability problems of the PSPG-method can be circumvented using an appropriate discrete reconstruction of the Laplace operator.

An analysis of some nonconforming approximations of the Stokes problem is presented. The approximations are based on a strain-pressure variational formulation. In particular, a convergence and stability result for a method recently proposed by Bathe and Pantuso is provided.
We present a covolume method for the modi®ed Stokes problem using the simplest approximation spaces, Q 1 ±P 0 . This scheme turns out the stabilized covolume method for the Stokes problem. We prove that the covolume method in this paper has a unique solution and Oh convergence order in H 1 semi-norm
In this paper we discuss some mixed finite element methods related to the reduced integration penalty method for solving the Stokes problem. We prove optimal order error estimates for bilinear-constant and biquadratic-bilinear velocity-pressure finite element solutions. The result for the biquadrati
