Discrete compactness for a discontinuous Galerkin approximation of Maxwell's system

چکیده
In this paper we prove the discrete compactness property for a discontinuous Galerkin approximation of Maxwell’s system on quite general tetrahedral meshes. As a consequence, a discrete Friedrichs inequality is obtained and the convergence of the discrete eigenvalues to the continuous ones is deduced using the theory of collectively compact operators. Some numerical experiments confirm the theoretical predictions.

Convergence of Discontinuous Galerkin Approximations of an Optimal Control Problem Associated to Semilinear Parabolic Pde’s
A discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for an optimal control problem related to semilinear parabolic PDE’s is examined. The schemes under consideration are discontinuous in time but conforming in space. Convergence of discrete schemes of arbitrary order is proven. In addition, the convergence of discontinuous Galerkin approximations of the associated optimality system to the solutions ...
متن کامل] 2011 - 04 Rellich - type Discrete Compactness for Some Discontinuous Galerkin FEM ∗
We deduce discrete compactness of Rellich type for some discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (DGFEM) including hybrid ones, under fairly general settings on the triangulations and the finite element spaces. We make use of regularity of the solutions to an auxiliary second-order elliptic boundary value problem as well as the error estimates of the associated finite element solutions. Th...
متن کاملThe dynamical behavior of the discontinuous Galerkin method and related difference schemes
We study the dynamical behavior of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for initial value problems in ordinary differential equations. We make two different assumptions which guarantee that the continuous problem defines a dissipative dynamical system. We show that, under certain conditions, the discontinuous Galerkin approximation also defines a dissipative dynamical system and we ...
متن کاملConvergence of a mixed method for a semi-stationary compressible Stokes system
We propose and analyze a finite element method for a semi– stationary Stokes system modeling compressible fluid flow subject to a Navier– slip boundary condition. The velocity (momentum) equation is approximated by a mixed finite element method using the lowest order Nédélec spaces of the first kind. The continuity equation is approximated by a standard piecewise constant upwind discontinuous G...
متن کاملDiscrete functional analysis tools for Discontinuous Galerkin methods with application to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations
Two discrete functional analysis tools are established for spaces of piecewise polynomial functions on general meshes: (i) a discrete counterpart of the continuous Sobolev embeddings, in both Hilbertian and non-Hilbertian settings; (ii) a compactness result for bounded sequences in a suitable Discontinuous Galerkin norm, together with a weak convergence property for some discrete gradients. The...
