Poincaré–Friedrichs inequalities for piecewise \(H^{1}\) functions. (English) Zbl 1045.65100

Poincaré-Friedrichs inequalities are established on polyhedral domains \(\Omega\) for piecewise \(H^{1}\) functions with respect to a partition by open polygons or polyhedra. The inequalities involve the jumps of the functions across the sides of the subdomains. They can be applied to classical nonconforming finite element methods, mortar methods, and discontinuous Galerkin methods.
