Abstract

In this note we introduce and analyze a stabilized finite element method for the generalized Stokes equation. Stability is obtained by adding a least squares penalization of the gradient jumps across element boundaries. The method can be seen as a higher order version of the BrezziPitkranta penalty stabilization [F. Brezzi, J. Pitkranta, On the stabilization of finite element approximations of the Stokes equations, in: W. Hackbusch (Ed.), Efficient Solution of Elliptic Systems, Vieweg, 1984], but gives better resolution on the boundary for the Stokes equation than does classical Galerkin least-squares formulation. We prove optimal and quasi-optimal convergence properties for Stokes problem and for the porous media models of Darcy and Brinkman. Some numerical examples are given.
