Abstract

A continuously interpolated mortar condition is proposed for 2D and 3D \(P_k\) nonconforming finite elements on nonmatching grids. The resulting finite element method is an optimal order one in solving elliptic equations. Numerical tests on the 2D \(P_1\), 2D \(P_2\) and 3D \(P_1\) nonconforming finite elements are provided.
