摘要
A general analysis framework is presented in this paper for many different types of finite element methods(including various discontinuous Galerkin methods).For the second-order elliptic equation-div(α▽u)=f,this framework employs four different discretization variables,u_(h),p_(h),u_(h)and p_(h),where u_(h)and p_(h)are for approximation of u and p=-α▽u inside each element,and u_(h)and p_(h)are for approximation of the residual of u and p·n on the boundary of each element.The resulting 4-field discretization is proved to satisfy two types of inf-sup conditions that are uniform with respect to all discretization and penalization parameters.As a result,many existing finite element and discontinuous Galerkin methods can be analyzed using this general framework by making appropriate choices of discretization spaces and penalization parameters.
