Abstract

In this paper, a new approach for finding the approximate solution of the Stokes problem is introduced. In this method the problem is transformed to an equivalent optimization problem. Then, by considering it as a distributed parameter control system, the theory of measure is used to approximate the velocity functions by piecewise linear functions. Then, the approximate values of pressure are obtained by a finite difference scheme.
