Abstrakt: A penalty method for mixed finite element methods is formulated and studied. The Herrmann-Miyoshi scheme for the biharmonic equation is considered. The main idea is to build a perturbed problem with two parameters playing the role of penalties. The perturbed problem is constructed by replacing principal conditions in the mixed variational formulation at the interface by natural conditions containing parameters. Discretization of the perturbed problem is effected by a finite element method. Estimates for the norm of the difference between the solutions of a discrete perturbed problem and of an initial value problem are derived depending on the mesh size and penalties. Recommendations are given as to how to choose penalties so as to fit a mesh size. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
