A class of domain decomposition preconditioners for \(hp\)-discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (Q639391): Difference between revisions

The discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) using \(h\) and \(p\) refinement is applied to symmetric elliptic boundary value problems. As example the Poisson equation in a polygonal domain is considered either in two or three space dimensions. The authors focus on the \(p\)-refinement and investigate the question whether the class of non-overlapping Schwarz preconditioners introduced for the case of \(h\)-refinement can be extended to \(p\)- and \(hp\)-refinement versions of the DGFEM, while preserving their efficiency. Spectral bounds for the preconditioned stiffness matrix are shown to be of order \(p^2\) for \(p\)-DGFEM. Combining these results with those known for \(h\)-DGFEM, spectral bounds of order \(p^2H/h\) are proven for \(hp\)-DGFEM. Finally, numerical results for the Poisson equation on the unit square illustrate the theoretical estimates.
