چکیده

In (Xu and Shu in J. Sci. Comput. 40:375–390, 2009), a local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for the surface diffusion of graphs was developed and a rigorous proof for its energy stability was given. Numerical simulation results showed the optimal order of accuracy. In this subsequent paper, we concentrate on analyzing a priori error estimates of the LDG method for the surface diffusion of graphs. The main achievement is the derivation of the optimal convergence rate k + 1 in the L2 norm in one-dimension as well as in multi-dimensions for Cartesian meshes using a completely discontinuous piecewise polynomial space with degree k ≥ 1.

Optimal Error Estimates of the Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Willmore Flow of Graphs on Cartesian Meshes

In [23], we developed a LDGmethod for the for the Willmore flow of graphs and gave a rigorous proof for its energy stability. In this method the basis functions used are discontinuous in space. The LDG discretization also results in a high order accurate, extremely local, element based discretization. In particular, the LDG method is well suited for hp-adaptation, which consists of local mesh r...

Analysis of a Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Fourth-order Time-dependent Problems

We analyze a local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for fourth-order time-dependent problems. Optimal error estimates are obtained in one dimension and in multi-dimensions for Cartesian and triangular meshes. We extend the analysis to higher even-order equations and the linearized CahnHilliard type equations. Numerical experiments are displayed to verify the theoretical results.

Optimal Error Estimates of the Semidiscrete Central Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Linear Hyperbolic Equations

We analyze the central discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for time-dependent linear conservation laws. In one dimension, optimal a priori L error estimates of order k+1 are obtained for the semidiscrete scheme when piecewise polynomials of degree at most k (k ≥ 0) are used on overlapping uniform meshes. We then extend the analysis to multidimensions on uniform Cartesian meshes when piecewise te...

Optimal a priori error estimates for the hp-version of the local discontinuous Galerkin method for convection-diffusion problems

We study the convergence properties of the hp-version of the local discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for convection-diffusion problems; we consider a model problem in a one-dimensional space domain. We allow arbitrary meshes and polynomial degree distributions and obtain upper bounds for the energy norm of the error which are explicit in the mesh-width h, in the polynomial degree p, ...

Local Error Estimates of the Ldg Method for 1-d Singularly Perturbed Problems

In this paper local discontinuous Galerkin method (LDG) was analyzed for solving 1-D convection-diffusion equations with a boundary layer near the outflow boundary. Local error estimates are established on quasi-uniform meshes with maximum mesh size h. On a subdomain with O(h ln(1/h)) distance away from the outflow boundary, the L error of the approximations to the solution and its derivative c...
