Brezzi, Franco; Lions, Jacques-Louis; Pironneau, Olivier Analysis of a Chimera method. (English. Abridged French version) Zbl 0988.65117 C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér.

In a previous publication F. Hecht, J.-L. Lions and O. Pironneau [Sequeira, Adélia (ed.) et al., Applied nonlinear analysis. In honor of the 70th birthday of Professor Jindřich Neǎs. New York, NY: Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers. 185-198 (1999; Zbl 0954.65010)] proposed an implementation for which convergence could be shown except that ellipticity was not proved for the discretized bilinear form with quadrature rules. Here we prove that the bilinear form of the discrete problem is strongly elliptic without compatibility condition for the mesh of the subdomains in their region of intersection.
