The lowest equal-order conforming finite element pair (piecewise bilinear veloc- ities and pressures) and piecewise constant test spaces for both the velocity and pressure are employed in this method. We show the stability of this method and prove first optimal rate of convergence for the velocity in the H1 norm and the pressure in the L2 norm.
