Analysis of the iterative penalty method for the Stokes equations

Abstract In this work we propose an iterative penalty method for addressing the Stokes equations. We can use a “not very small” penalty parameter to avoid the unstable computation by iteration. The Numerical experiments show that the algorithm is very effective.
