QUASI-OPTIMAL APPROXIMATION OF SURFACE BASED LAGRANGE MULTIPLIERS IN FINITE ELEMENT METHODS

We show quasi-optimal a priori convergence results in the L²-and H -1/2 -norm for the approximation of surface based Lagrange multipliers such as those employed in the mortar finite element method. We improve on the estimates obtained in the standard saddle point theory, where error estimates for bo...
