A Parallel hp-Adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin . Method for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

This paper describes a parallel adaptive strategy based on discontinuous hp-finite element approximations oflinear, scalar, hyperbolic conservation laws. The paper focuses on the development of an effective parallel adaptive strategy for such problems, Numerical experiments suggest that these techniques arc highly parallelizablc a.nd deliver super-linear rates of convergence, thereby yielding efficiency many times superior to conventional schemes for hyperbolic problems.
