Abstract
The discontinuous Galerkin (dG) method was introduced by Reed and Hill [73] in 1973 for steady-state neutron transport as an hyperbolic problem. This was followed by other studies; by Bassi and Rebay [12] for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, Cockburn and Shu [31] developed the local discontinuous Galerkin (ldG) method for advection-diffusion equations, and Peraire and Persson [69] introduced the compact discontinuous Galerkin (cdG) method. Independent of the dG methods, interior penalty (IP) methods have been developed for elliptic and parabolic problems by Douglas and Dupont [40] and Wheeler [95]. Then, in the 1980’s, Arnold et al. [6] proposed a unified classification and analysis of various kinds of dG methods. Later on, the dG methods were developed for elliptic problems [8, 24, 77] and for problems with advection [7, 14, 51, 56].
