The authors introduce a discontinuous Galerkin method for scalar hyperbolic conservation laws. The grid consists of regular polyhedrons in space and time, and it is constructed adaptively as the solution progresses in time. The basis consists of polynomials of degree \(p\) on each grid cell. A slope limiter is used to control overshoots and undershoots at shocks.
