We use an isogeometric Taylor Hood element for discretization, which is based on B-Spline basis functions. Fourier Analysis is used to get a term whose minimum can be determined using cylindrical algebraic decomposition (CAD). The goal is to find a closed form for the inf-sup-constant, that only depends on the degree of the B-Splines.
