Extended HDG methods for second order elliptic interface problems

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this paper, we propose two arbitrary order eXtended hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin (X-HDG) methods for second order elliptic interface problems in two and three dimensions. The first X-HDG method applies to any piecewise C2 smooth interface. It uses piecewise polynomials of degrees k (k>=1) and k1 respectively for the potential and flux approximations in the interior of elements inside the subdomains, and piecewise polynomials of degree k for the numerical traces of potential on the inter-element boundaries inside the subdomains. Double value numerical traces on the parts of interface inside elements are adopted to deal with the jump condition. The second X-HDG method is a modified version of the first one and applies to any fold line/plane interface, which uses piecewise polynomials of degree k1 for the numerical traces of potential. The X-HDG methods are of the local elimination property, then lead to reduced systems which only involve the unknowns of numerical traces of potential on the inter-element boundaries and the interface. Optimal error estimates are derived for the flux approximation in L2 norm and for the potential approximation in piecewise H1 seminorm without requiring "sufficiently large" stabilization parameters in the schemes. In addition, error estimation for the potential approximation in L2 norm is performed using dual arguments. Finally, we provide several numerical examples to verify the theoretical results.
