TY - JOUR T1 - Babuška's Penalty Method for Inhomogeneous Dirichlet Problem: Error Estimates and Multigrid Algorithms JO - International Journal of Numerical Analysis Modeling Series B VL - 4 SP - 299 EP - 316 PY - 2014 DA - 2014/05 SN - 5 DO - http://doi.org/ UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/ijnamb/236.html KW - Finite element KW - multigrid KW - penalty KW - pre-conditioner AB - This article is two fold. Firstly, we derive optimal order a priori error estimates for Babuška's penalty method applied to inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem. Secondly, we derive convergence of W-cycle and V-cycle multigrid algorithms for the resulting system. To this end, a simple pre-conditioner is introduced to remedy the ill-condition due to over-penalty.
