Abstract

Semidiscrete (spatially discrete) finite element approximations of the Stokes equations are studied in this paper. Properties of L2, H1 and H−1 projections onto discretely divergence-free spaces are discussed and error estimates are derived under minimal regularity assumptions on the solution.
