Abstract
This chapter deals with the analysis of a non-conforming domain decomposition method,
the mortar element method for solving systems of equations arising from Discrete
Kirchhoff Triangles (DKT) finite element discretisation of a model fourth-order elliptic
problem. We define the spaces of approximation and the decomposed discrete
problem which of course relies on the variational formulation of the continuous one.
We verify the uniform ellipticity and the uniform continuity (independent from the
discretisation parameter) of the discrete bilinear form. We present a mathematical
analysis of the method and derive optimal consistency error and best fit error.
