The Scott-Vogelius Method for Stokes Problem on Anisotropic Meshes

This paper analyzes the Scott-Vogelius divergence-free element pair on anisotropic meshes. Weexplore the behavior of the inf-sup stability constant with respect to the aspect ratio on meshes generated with astandard barycenter mesh refinement strategy, as well as a newly introduced incenter refinement strategy. Numericalexperiments are presented which support the theoretical results
