Popis: A mixed-hybrid formulation of the elasticity problem with a nonconforming symmetric approximation of the stress–tensor is considered. Based on such a formulation, a new finite element of low order with minimal number of degrees of freedom is constructed. Optimal error estimates are derived. Moreover all estimates are valid uniformly with respect to compressibility and apply for the Stokes problem. Finally, an equivalence between this finite element and the piecewise quadratic nonconforming approximation of the elasticity problem is established.
