Abstract

In this paper, we study the semi-discrete Galerkin finite element method for parabolic equations with Lipschitz continuous coefficients. We prove the maximum-norm stability of the semigroup generated by the corresponding elliptic finite element operator, and prove the space-time stability of the parabolic projection onto the finite element space in L<sup>∞</sup>(QT) and L<sup>p</sup>((0,T); L<sup>p</sup>(Ω)), 1 < p, q < ∞. The maximal L<sup>p</sup> regularity of the parabolic finite element equation is also established.
