A stabilized finite element method based on two local Gauss integrations for the Stokes equations. (English) Zbl 1132.35436

Summary: This paper considers a stabilized method based on the difference between a consistent and an under-integrated mass matrix of the pressure for the Stokes equations approximated by the lowest equal-order finite element pairs. This method offsets only the discrete pressure space by subtracting the simple and symmetrical term at element level in order to circumvent the inf-sup condition. Optimal error estimates are obtained by applying the standard Galerkin technique. Finally, the numerical illustrations are presented completely in agree with the theoretical expectations.
