Abstract
Abstract A C 0-conforming discontinuous Galerkin (CDG) finite element method is introduced for solving the biharmonic equation. The first strong gradient of C 0 finite element functions is a vector of discontinuous piecewise polynomials. The second gradient is the weak gradient of discontinuous piecewise polynomials. This method, by its name, uses nonconforming (non C 1) approximations and keeps simple formulation of conforming finite element methods without any stabilizers. Optimal order error estimates in both a discrete H 2-norm and the L 2-norm are established for the corresponding finite element solutions. Numerical results are presented to confirm the theory of convergence.
