Abstract

In this paper, the generalized Sobolev embedding theorem and the generalized Rellich-Kondrachov compact theorem for finite element spaces with multiple sets of functions are established. Specially, they are true for nonconforming, hybrid and quasi-conforming element spaces with certain conditions.
