摘要

We construct and analyze a TraceFEM discretization for the surface biharmonic problem. The method utilizes standard quadratic Lagrange finite element spaces defined on a three-dimensional background mesh and a symmetric \(C^0\) C 0 interior penalty formulation posed on a piecewise planar approximation of the surface. Stability is achieved through a combination of surface edge penalties and bulk-facet penalization of gradient and Hessian jumps. We prove optimal first-order convergence in a discrete \(H^2\) H 2 norm and quadratic convergence in the \(L^2\) L 2 norm.
