Convergence Analysis of the Lowest Order Weakly Penalized Adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin Methods
In this article, we prove convergence of the weakly penalized adaptive
discontinuous Galerkin methods. Unlike other works, we derive the contraction
property for various discontinuous Galerkin methods only assuming the
stabilizing parameters are large enough to stabilize the method. A central idea
in the analysis is to construct an auxiliary solution from the discontinuous
Galerkin solution by a simple post processing. Based on the auxiliary solution,
we define the adaptive algorithm which guides to the convergence of adaptive
discontinuous Galerkin methods
Discontinuous Galerkin Methods with Trefftz Approximation
We present a novel Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method for wave
propagation problems. The method employs space-time Trefftz-type basis
functions that satisfy the underlying partial differential equations and the
respective interface boundary conditions exactly in an element-wise fashion.
The basis functions can be of arbitrary high order, and we demonstrate spectral
convergence in the \Lebesgue_2-norm. In this context, spectral convergence is
obtained with respect to the approximation error in the entire space-time
domain of interest, i.e. in space and time simultaneously. Formulating the
approximation in terms of a space-time Trefftz basis makes high order time
integration an inherent property of the method and clearly sets it apart from
methods, that employ a high order approximation in space only.Comment: 14 pages, 12 figures, preprint submitted at J Comput Phy
High order discontinuous Galerkin methods on surfaces
We derive and analyze high order discontinuous Galerkin methods for
second-order elliptic problems on implicitely defined surfaces in
. This is done by carefully adapting the unified discontinuous
Galerkin framework of Arnold et al. [2002] on a triangulated surface
approximating the smooth surface. We prove optimal error estimates in both a
(mesh dependent) energy norm and the norm.Comment: 23 pages, 2 figure
Resolving phase transitions with Discontinuous Galerkin methods
We demonstrate the applicability and advantages of Discontinuous Galerkin
(DG) schemes in the context of the Functional Renormalization Group (FRG). We
investigate the -model in the large limit. It is shown that the flow
equation for the effective potential can be cast into a conservative form. We
discuss results for the Riemann problem, as well as initial conditions leading
to a first and second order phase transition. In particular, we unravel the
mechanism underlying first order phase transitions, based on the formation of a
shock in the derivative of the effective potential.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, corrected typos, updated references, extended

Automated code generation for discontinuous Galerkin methods
A compiler approach for generating low-level computer code from high-level
input for discontinuous Galerkin finite element forms is presented. The input
language mirrors conventional mathematical notation, and the compiler generates
efficient code in a standard programming language. This facilitates the rapid
generation of efficient code for general equations in varying spatial
dimensions. Key concepts underlying the compiler approach and the automated
generation of computer code are elaborated. The approach is demonstrated for a
range of common problems, including the Poisson, biharmonic,
advection--diffusion and Stokes equations
Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Solving Acoustic Problems
Parciální diferenciální rovnice hrají důležitou v inženýrských aplikacích. Často je možné tyto rovnice řešit pouze přibližně, tj. numericky. Z toho důvodu vzniklo množství diskretizačních metod pro řešení těchto rovnic. Uvedená nespojitá Galerkinova metoda se zdá jako velmi obecná metoda pro řešení těchto rovnic, především pak pro hyperbolické systémy. Naším cílem je řešit úlohy aeroakustiky, přičemž šíření akustických vln je popsáno pomocí linearizovaných Eulerových rovnic. A jelikož se jedná o hyperbolický systém, byla vybrána právě nespojitá Galerkinova metoda. Mezi nejdůležitější aspekty této metody patří schopnost pracovat s geometricky složitými oblastmi, možnost dosáhnout metody vysokého řádu a dále lokální charakter toho schématu umožnuje efektivní paralelizaci výpočtu. Nejprve uvedeme nespojitou Galerkinovu metodu v obecném pojetí pro jedno- a dvoudimenzionalní úlohy. Algoritmus následně otestujeme pro řešení rovnice advekce, která byla zvolena jako modelový případ hyperbolické rovnice. Metoda nakonec bude testována na řadě verifikačních úloh, které byly formulovány pro testování metod pro výpočetní aeroakustiku, včetně oveření okrajových podmínek, které, stejně jako v případě teorie proudění tekutin, jsou nedílnou součástí výpočetní aeroakustiky.Partial differential equations play an important role in engineering applications. It is often possible to solve these equations only approximately, i.e. numerically. Therefore number of successful discretization techniques has been developed to solve these equations. The presented discontinuous Galerkin method seems to be very general method to solve this type of equations, especially useful for hyperbolic systems. Our aim is to solve aeroacoustic problems, where propagation of acoustic waves is described using linearized Euler equations. This system of equations is indeed hyperbolic and therefore the discontinuous Galerkin method was chosen. The most important aspects of this method is ability to deal with complex geometries, possibility of high-order method and its local character enabling efficient computation parallelization. We first introduce the discontinuous Galerkin method in general for one- and two-dimensional problems. We then test the algorithm to solve advection equation, which was chosen as a model case of hyperbolic equation. The method will be finally tested using number of verification problems, which were formulated to test methods for computational equations, including verification of boundary conditions, which, similarly to computational fluid dynamics, are important part of computational aeroacoustics.
