We propose two mixed finite element methods for the Stokes equations in two space dimensions. Starting from a Q,-Q, combination for the velocity and pressure, it is studied how to introduce internal degrees of freedom into the velocity space in order to obtain a LBB-stable combination. The LBB stabi

β¦ Synopsis
The stability of modified cross-grid elements for the approximation of the Stokes problem using continuous piecewise linear polynomials to approximate velocities and piecewise constants to approximate pressures is proved. A key feature of the method is that the mesh for pressure is modified so that the method is stable without augmenting pressure jumps. A numerical test which confirms the stability and the optimal order error estimate is presented. (~) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
