We present a new class of iterative schemes for solving initial value problems (IVP) based on discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods. Starting from the weak DG formulation of an IVP, we derive a new iterative method based on a preconditioned Picard iteration. Using this approach, we can systematically construct explicit, implicit and semi-implicit schemes with arbitrary order of accuracy. We also show that the same schemes can be constructed by solving a series of correction equations based on the DG weak formulation. The accuracy of the schemes is proven to be $min{2p+1, K+1}$ with $p$ the degree of the DG polynomial basis and $K$ the number of iterations. The stability is explored numerically; we show that the implicit schemes are $A$-stable at least for $0 leq p leq 9$. Furthermore, we combine the methods with a multilevel strategy to accelerate their convergence speed. The new multilevel scheme is intended to provide a flexible framework for high order space-time discretizations and to be coupled with space-time multigrid techniques for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). We present numerical examples for ODEs and PDEs to analyze the performance of the new methods. Moreover, the newly proposed class of methods, due to its structure, is also a competitive and promising candidate for parallel in time algorithms such as Parareal, PFASST, multigrid in time, etc.
In this article, several discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) methods with perfectly matched layers (PMLs) are derived along with their quasi-optimal graph test norms. Ultimately, two different complex coordinate stretching strategies are considered in these derivations. Unlike with classical formulations used by Bubnov-Galerkin methods, with so-called ultraweak variational formulations, these two strategies in fact deliver different formulations in the PML region. One of the strategies, which is argued to be more physically natural, is employed for numerically solving two- and three-dimensional time-harmonic acoustic, elastic, and electromagnetic wave propagation problems, defined in unbounded domains. Through these numerical experiments, efficacy of the new DPG methods with PMLs is verified.
We present the recent development of hybridizable and embedded discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for wave propagation problems in fluids, solids, and electromagnetism. In each of these areas, we describe the methods, discuss their main features, display numerical results to illustrate their performance, and conclude with bibliography notes. The main ingredients in devising these DG methods are (i) a local Galerkin projection of the underlying partial differential equations at the element level onto spaces of polynomials of degree k to parametrize the numerical solution in terms of the numerical trace; (ii) a judicious choice of the numerical flux to provide stability and consistency; and (iii) a global jump condition that enforces the continuity of the numerical flux to obtain a global system in terms of the numerical trace. These DG methods are termed hybridized DG methods, because they are amenable to hybridization (static condensation) and hence to more efficient implementations. They share many common advantages of DG methods and possess some unique features that make them well-suited to wave propagation problems.
We prove that the most common filtering procedure for nodal discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods is stable. The proof exploits that the DG approximation is constructed from polynomial basis functions and that integrals are approximated with high-order accurate Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto quadrature. The theoretical discussion serves to re-contextualize stable filtering results for finite difference methods into the DG setting. It is shown that the stability of the filtering is equivalent to a particular contractivity condition borrowed from the analysis of so-called transmission problems. As such, the temporal stability proof relies on the fact that the underlying spatial discretization of the problem possesses a semi-discrete bound on the solution. Numerical tests are provided to verify and validate the underlying theoretical results.
In this article we design and analyze a class of two-level non-overlapping additive Schwarz preconditioners for the solution of the linear system of equations stemming from discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of second-order elliptic partial differential equations on polytopic meshes. The preconditioner is based on a coarse space and a non-overlapping partition of the computational domain where local solvers are applied in parallel. In particular, the coarse space can potentially be chosen to be non-embedded with respect to the finer space; indeed it can be obtained from the fine grid by employing agglomeration and edge coarsening techniques. We investigate the dependence of the condition number of the preconditioned system with respect to the diffusion coefficient and the discretization parameters, i.e., the mesh size and the polynomial degree of the fine and coarse spaces. Numerical examples are presented which confirm the theoretical bounds.
In this paper, we present a unified analysis of the superconvergence property for a large class of mixed discontinuous Galerkin methods. This analysis applies to both the Poisson equation and linear elasticity problems with symmetric stress formulations. Based on this result, some locally postprocess schemes are employed to improve the accuracy of displacement by order min(k+1, 2) if polynomials of degree k are employed for displacement. Some numerical experiments are carried out to validate the theoretical results.
