Abstract
An analysis is given for a class of nonconforming Lagrange-type finite elements which have been successfully utilized to approximate the sol ution of a variational problem modeling the deformation of martensitic crystals with microstructure. These elements were first proposed and analyzed in 1992 by Rannacher and Turek for the Stokes equation. Our a nalysis highlights the features of these elements which make them effe ctive for the computation of microstructure. New results for superconv ergence and numerical quadrature are also given.
