摘要

A nonlinear Galerkin/Petrov-least squares mixed element (NGPLSME) method for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations is presented and analyzed. The scheme is that Petrov-least squares forms of residuals are added to the nonlinear Galerkin mixed element method so that it is stable for any combination of discrete velocity and pressure spaces without requiring the Babuska-Brezzi stability condition. The existence, uniqueness and convergence (at optimal rate) of the NGPLSME solution is proved in the case of sufficient viscosity (or small data).
