Nonlinear Galerkin Finite Element for Viscoelastic Fluid Flow: Optimal   Error Estimate
  In this article, we discuss a couple of nonlinear Galerkin method (NLG) in finite element set up for viscoelastic fluid flow, mainly equations of motion arising in the flow of 2D Oldroyd model. We obtain improved error estimate in $L^{\infty}(\bL^2)$ norm, which is optimal in nature, for linear finite element approximation, in view of the error estimate available in literature, in $L^2(\bH^1)$ norm.
