Abstract
We show that the discrete velocity solution converges at the optimal order when solving the steady state Stokes equations by the - mixed finite element method for on 2D triangular grids or on tetrahedral grids, even in the case the inf-sup condition fails. By a simple -projection of the discrete pressure to the space of continuous polynomials, we show this post-processed pressure solution also converges at the optimal order. Both 2D and 3D numerical tests are presented, verifying the theory.
