Some Recent Developments in Superconvergence of Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Time-Dependent Partial Differential Equations

摘要

In this paper, we briefly review some recent developments in the superconvergence of three types of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for time-dependent partial differential equations: the standard DG method, the local discontinuous Galerkin method, and the direct discontinuous Galerkin method. A survey of our own results for various time-dependent partial differential equations is presented and the superconvergence phenomena of the aforementioned three types of DG solutions are studied for: (i) the function value and derivative approximation at some special points, (ii) cell average error and supercloseness.
