Abstract:
This article discusses the mixed finite element method combined with backward-Euler method to study
the hyperbolic p-bi-Laplace equation, where the existence and uniqueness of solution for discretized problem is
shown in Lebesgue Sobolev spaces. The mixed formulation and the inf–sup condition are then given to prove
the well posed of the scheme and the optimal a priori error estimates for fully discrete schemes is extracted.
Finally, a numerical example is given to confirm the theoretical results obtained.
Key words:
evolution p-bi-Laplace equation, mixed finite element method, inf–sup condition and mixed
formulation, existence and uniqueness.
