Notes:
This paper presents a simple extension of the patch test to mixed formulations to provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence. The general algebraic conditions of Babuska and Brezzi are given a simple form and a conceptual application of the patch tests serves to point out the instability of several well known formulations for incompressible problems. The test is also applied to mixed displacement - strain formulations of elasticity, and limiting formulations are noted.
