The construction is driven by the inf-sup theory, which we recently developed. It builds upon the four-field formulation of the equations obtained by introducing the total pressure and the total fluid content. We discretize in space with Lagrange finite elements and in time with backward Euler. We establish inf-sup stability and quasi-optimality of the proposed discretization, with robust constants with respect to all material parameters. We further construct an interpolant showing how the error decays for smooth solutions.enErgebnisberichte des Instituts für Angewandte Mathematik;675Inf-sup stabilityrobustnessquasioptimalityporoelasticityquasi-static Biot’s equationsa priori analysis610Preprint
