Abstract
C 0 interior penalty methods for fourth order elliptic boundary value problems on polygonal domains are analyzed in this paper. A post-processing procedure that can generate C 1 approximate solutions from the C 0 approximate solutions is presented. New C 0 interior penalty methods based on the techniques involved in the post-processing procedure are introduced. These new methods are applicable to rough right-hand sides.
