The lower bound of the error estimate in the L2 norm for the Adini element of the biharmonic equation

Publication date 20 November 2012

Abstract: This paper is devoted to the

L^{2}

norm error estimate of the Adini element for the biharmonic equation. Surprisingly, a lower bound is established which proves that the

L^{2}

norm convergence rate can not be higher than that in the energy norm. This proves the conjecture of [Lascaux and Lesaint, Some nonconforming finite elements for the plate bending problem, RAIRO Anal. Numer. 9 (1975), pp. 9--53.] that the convergence rates in both

L^{2}

and

H^{1}

norms can not be higher than that in the energy norm for this element.
