Synopses & Reviews
Non-standard finite element methods, in particular mixed methods, are central to many applications. In this text the authors, Boffi, Brezzi and Fortin present a general framework, starting with a finite dimensional presentation, then moving on to formulation in Hilbert spaces and finally considering approximations, including stabilized methods and eigenvalue problems.

Synopsis
Here is a framework for mixed finite element methods, moving from a finite dimensional presentation, then on to formulation in Hilbert spaces and approximations, stabilized methods and eigenvalue problems. Offers examples: Stokes' problem, elasticity and more.
