Popis: International audience; In this paper, we investigate the approximation of a diffusion modelproblem with contrasted diffusivity for various nonconformingapproximation methods. The essential difficulty is that the Sobolevsmoothness index of the exact solution may be just barely largerthan 1. The lack of smoothness is handled by giving a weak meaningto the normal derivative of the exact solution at the mesh faces.We derive robust and quasi-optimal error estimates.Quasi-optimality means that the approximation error is bounded,up to a generic constant, by the best-approximation error in thediscrete trial space, and robustness means that the genericconstant is independent of the diffusivity contrast. The errorestimates use a mesh-dependent norm that is equivalent, at thediscrete level, to the energy norm and that remains bounded aslong as the exact solution has a Sobolev index strictly largerthan 1. Finally, we briefly show how the analysis can be extendedto the Maxwell's equations.
