Abstract
We present a new family of rectangular mixed finite elements for the stress-displacement system of the plane elasticity problem. Based on the theory of mixed finite element methods, we prove that they are stable and obtain error estimates for both the stress field and the displacement field. Using the finite element spaces in this family, an exact sequence is established as a discrete version of the elasticity complex in two dimensions. And the relationship between this discrete version and the original one is shown in a commuting diagram.

Anisotropic conforming rectangular elements for elliptic problems of any order

TL;DR: In this paper, two sets of C^N^-^1 conforming rectangular elements for linear elliptic problems of order 2N, N>=1, are presented, and the anisotropic error estimates are proved by the Newton's formulas for Hermite interpolation in two dimensions and the special properties of the divided differences with coincident knots.
