Abstract
- This paper studies the mixed element method for the boundary value problem of the biharmonic equation ▵<superscript>2</superscript>u = f in two dimensions. We start from a u ∼ ▿ ∼ <superscript>2</superscript>u ∼ div <superscript>2</superscript>u formulation that is discussed in [4] and construct its stability on H<superscript>1</superscript> <subscript>0</subscript>(Ω) × H<superscript>1</superscript> <subscript>0</subscript>(Ω) × L<superscript>2</superscript> <subscript>sym</subscript>(Ω) × H<superscript>-1</superscript>(div). Then we utilise the Helmholtz decomposition of H-1(div,Ω) and construct a new formulation stable on first-order and zero-order Sobolev spaces. Finite element discretisations are then given with respect to the new formulation, and both theoretical analysis and numerical verification are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
