Abstract: We introduce and analyze a Statically Condensed Iterated Penalty (SCIP) method for solving incompressible flow problems discretized with $p$th-order Scott-Vogelius elements. While the standard iterated penalty method is often the preferred algorithm for computing the discrete solution, it requires inverting a linear system with $mathcalO(p^d)$ unknowns at each iteration. The SCIP method reduces the size of this system to $mathcalO(p^{d-1})$ unknowns while maintaining the geometric rate of convergence of the iterated penalty method. The application of SCIP to Kovasznay flow and Moffatt eddies shows good agreement with the theory.
