  • Abstract

A Ciarlet-Raviart type mixed finite element approximation is constructed and analyzed for a class of fourth-order elliptic problems arising from solving various gradient systems. Optimal error estimates are obtained, using a super-closeness relation between the finite element solution and the Ritz projection of the PDE solution. Numerical results agree with the theoretical analysis.
