An overlapping local projection stabilization for Galerkin approximations of Stokes and Darcy flow problems. (English) Zbl 1493.65201

Summary: An a priori analysis for a generalized local projection stabilized finite element approximation of the Stokes, and the Darcy flow equations are presented in this paper. A first-order conforming \(\mathbf{P}_1^c\) finite element space is used to approximate both the velocity and pressure. It is shown that the stabilized discrete bilinear form satisfies the inf-sup condition in the generalized local projection norm. Moreover, a priori error estimates are established in a mesh-dependent norm as well as in the \(L^2\)-norm for the velocity and pressure. The optimal and quasi-optimal convergence properties are derived for the Stokes and the Darcy flow problems. Finally, the derived estimates are numerically validated with appropriate examples.
