Abstract

In this contribution, we discuss some basic mechanical and mathematical features of the finite element technology for elliptic boundary value problems. Originating from an engineering perspective, we will introduce step by step of some basic mathematical concepts in order to set a basis for a deeper discussion of the rigorous mathematical approaches. In this context, we consider the boundedness of functions, the classification of the smoothness of functions, classical and mixed variational formulations as well as the \(H^{-1}\)-FEM in linear elasticity. Another focus is on the analysis of saddle point problems occurring in several mixed finite element formulations, especially on the solvability and stability of the associated discretized versions.

The derivatives occurring in \(H^m({\mathcal B})\) have to be interpreted as weak or generalized derivatives. Classical derivatives are functions defined pointwise on an interval. A weak derivative need only to be locally integrable. If the function is sufficiently smooth, e.g., \(v\in C^m(\overline{{\mathcal B}})\), then its weak derivatives \(D^\alpha u\) coincide with the classical ones for \(|\alpha |\le m\).

Note that a restriction to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions is only of technical nature and does not constitute a loss of generality, see, e.g., Braess (1997).
