Abstract

Based on two-grid discretizations, some local and parallel stabilized finite element methods are proposed and investigated for the Stokes problem in this paper. For the finite element discretization, the lowest equal-order finite element pairs are chosen to circumvent the discrete inf-sup condition. In these algorithms, we derive the low-frequency components of the solution for the Stokes problem on a coarse grid and catch the high-frequency components on a fine grid using some local and parallel procedures. Optimal error bounds are demonstrated and some numerical experiments are carried out to support theoretical results.
