Abstract

This paper presents anextension to stabilized methods of the standard technique for thenumerical analysis of mixed methods. We prove that the stability of stabilizedmethods follows from an underlying discrete inf-sup condition, plus a uniformseparation property between bubble and velocity finite element spaces. We applythe technique introduced to provethe sta bi li ty of stabilized spectral element methods so asstabilized solution of the primitive equations of the ocean.
