On the finite element method for the biharmonic Dirichlet problem in polygonal domains; quasi-optimal rate of convergence (Q1774291)

The paper deals with the finite element method for the biharmonic equation in the polygonal domain \[ \Delta ^2 u = f, \quad \text{in} \;\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2, \] \[ u = \frac{\partial u}{\partial n} = 0 \quad \text{on} \;\partial \Omega. \] The authors derive a quasi-optimal rate for the convergence of the error using tools of the interpolation analysis.
