TY - JOUR T1 - The Mortar Element Method with Lagrange Multipliers for Stokes Problem AU - Y. Q. Jiang JO - Numerical Mathematics, a Journal of Chinese Universities VL - 4 SP - 328 EP - 340 PY - 2007 DA - 2007/11 SN - 16 DO - http://doi.org/ UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/nm/10062.html KW - AB - In this paper, we propose a mortar element method with Lagrange multiplier for incompressible Stokes problem, i.e., the matching constraints of velocity on mortar edges are expressed in terms of Lagrange multipliers. We also present $P_1$ nonconforming element attached to the subdomains. By proving inf-sup condition, we derive optimal error estimates for velocity and pressure. Moreover, we obtain satisfactory approximation for normal derivatives of the velocity across the interfaces.
