Abstract
A stable splitting of 2m-th order elliptic partial differential equations into 2(m-1)problems of Poisson type and one generalized Stokes problem is established for any space dimension d≥2 and any integer m≥1. This allows a numerical approximation with standard finite elements that are suited for the Poisson equation and the Stokes system, respectively. For some fourth- and sixth-order problems in two and three space dimensions, precise finite element formulations along with a priori error estimates and numerical experiments are presented.
