We present a study of the local discontinuous Galerkin method for transient convection-di usion problems in one dimension. We show that p degree piecewise polynomial discontinuous nite element solutions of convection-dominated problems are O( xp+2) superconvergent at Radau points. For di usion-dominated problems, the solution's derivative is O( xp+2) superconvergent at the roots of the derivati...

We construct and analyze a discontinuous Galerkin method to solve advectiondiffusion-reaction PDEs with anisotropic and semidefinite diffusion. The method is designed to automatically detect the so-called elliptic/hyperbolic interface on fitted meshes. The key idea is to use consistent weighted average and jump operators. Optimal estimates in the broken graph norm are proven. These are consiste...

In this paper we investigate the relationship between the continuous and the discontinuous Galerkin methods for elliptic problems. In particular, we show that the continuous Galerkin method can be interpreted as the limit of a discontinuous Galerkin method when a stabilization parameter tends to innnity. Based on this observation we derive a method for computing a conservative approximation of ...

We discuss a new approach to represent fractional operators by Sinc approximation using convolution integrals. A spin off of the convolution representation is an effective inverse Laplace transform. Several examples demonstrate the application of the method to different practical problems.
