Abstract
We establish several useful estimates for a non-conforming 2-norm posed on piecewise linear surface triangulations with boundary, with the main result being a Poincaré inequality.
We also obtain equivalence of the non-conforming 2-norm posed on the true surface with the norm posed on a piecewise linear approximation.
Moreover, we allow for free boundary conditions.
The true surface is assumed to be
C
2
,
1
C^{2,1}
when free conditions are present; otherwise,
C
2
C^{2}
is sufficient.
The framework uses tools from differential geometry and the closest point map (see [G. Dziuk, Finite elements for the Beltrami operator on arbitrary surfaces, Partial Differential Equations and Calculus of Variations, Lecture Notes in Math. 1357, Springer, Berlin (1988), 142–155]) for approximating the full surface Hessian operator.
We also present a novel way of applying the closest point map when dealing with surfaces with boundary.
Connections with surface finite element methods for fourth-order problems are also noted.
