Error estimates with optimal convergence orders are proved for a stabilized Lagrange-Galerkin scheme for the Navier-Stokes equations. The scheme is a combination of Lagrange-Galerkin method and Brezzi- Pitkaranta's stabilization method. It maintains the adva ntages of both methods; (i) It is robust for convection- dominated problems and the system of linear equations to be solved is symmetric. (ii) Since the P1 finite element is employed for both velocity and pressure, the number of degrees of freedom is much smaller than that of other typical elements for the equations, e.g., P2/P1. Therefore, the scheme is efficient espe- cially for three-dimensional problems. The theoretical convergence orders are recognized numerically by two- and three-dimensional computations.
