On the Sobolev and $L^p$-Stability of the $L^2$-projection

We show stability of the $L^2$-projection onto Lagrange finite element spaces with respect to (weighted) $L^p$ and $W^{1,p}$-norms for any polynomial degree and for any space dimension under suitable conditions on the mesh grading. This includes $W^{1,2}$-stability in two space dimensions for any polynomial degree and meshes generated by newest vertex bisection. Under realistic but conjectured assumptions on the mesh grading in three dimensions we show $W^{1,2}$-stability for all polynomial degrees. We also propose a modified bisection strategy that leads to better $W^{1,p}$-stability. Moreover, we investigate the stability of the $L^2$-projection onto Crouzeix-Raviart elements.

Fortin Operator for the Taylor-Hood Element

We design a Fortin operator for the lowest-order Taylor-Hood element in any dimension, which was previously constructed only in 2D. In the construction we use tangential edge bubble functions for the divergence correcting operator. This naturally leads to an alternative inf-sup stable reduced finite element pair. Furthermore, we provide a counterexample to the inf-sup stability and hence to existence of a Fortin operator for the $P_2$-$P_0$ and the augmented Taylor-Hood element in 3D.

The parabolic p-Laplacian with fractional differentiability

We study the parabolic $p$-Laplacian system in a bounded domain. We deduce optimal convergence rates for the space-time discretization based on an implicit Euler scheme in time. Our estimates are expressed in terms of Nikolskii spaces and therefore cover situations when the (gradient of) the solution has only fractional derivatives in space and time. The main novelty is that, different to all previous results, we do not assume any coupling condition between the space and time resolution $h$ and $τ$. The theoretical error analysis is complemented by numerical experiments.
