Nonconforming Galerkin methods based on quadrilateral elements for second order elliptic problems

TLDR
In this paper, low-order nonconforming Galerkin methods are analyzed for second-order elliptic equations subjected to Robin, Dirichlet, or Neumann boundary conditions in two and three dimensions.
Abstract
Low-order nonconforming Galerkin methods will be analyzed for second-order elliptic equations subjected to Robin, Dirichlet, or Neumann boundary conditions. Both simplicial and rectangular elements will be considered in two and three dimensions. The simplicial elements will be based on P 1 , as for conforming elements; however, it is necessary to introduce new elements in the rectangular case. Optimal order error estimates are demonstrated in all cases with respect to a broken norm in H 1 (Ω) and in the Neumann and Robin cases in L 2 (Ω).

Simple nonconforming quadrilateral Stokes element

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple nonconforming quadrilateral Stokes element based on "rotated" multi-linear shape functions is analyzed, and it is shown that on strongly nonuniform meshes the usual parametric version of this element suffers from a lack of consistency, while its nonparametric counterpart turns out to be convergent with optimal orders.
