Stability, approximability, incompressibility, and solvability of mixed
finite elements for the stationary Stokes equations
Prof. Jinshui Qin
Department of Mathematics,

In this talk, we present some new results on the stability,
approximability, incompressibility, and solvability of mixed finite
element methods for the stationary Stokes equations. Some topics
to be discussed in the talk are: techniques of stabilizing mixed finite
elements via bubbles or mesh structures, elements that preserve or
nearly preserve the incompressibility of incompressible fluids, some
preconditioned iterative methods for solving indefinite linear systems
arising from mixed finite element discretizations, etc.
