Abstract
In this paper, two nonconforming finite element schemes that use piecewise cubic and piecewise quartic polynomials respectively are constructed for the planar biharmonic equation with optimal convergence rates on general shape-regular triangulations. Therefore, it is proved that optimal finite element schemes of arbitrary order for planar biharmonic equation can be constructed on general shape-regular triangulations.
