High-order multiscale discontinuous Galerkin methods for the one-dimensional stationary Schrödinger equation (Q2186917)

In this paper, the authors extend a previous work on the second-order multiscale discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for one-dimensional stationary Schrödinger equations with oscillating solutions [\textit{Y. Chen} et al., IMA J. Numer. Anal. 36, No. 4, 1570--1598 (2016; Zbl 1433.65145)] to a high-order method. They propose two types of high-order multiscale finite element spaces, and prove that the resulting DG methods with these spaces converge optimally with respect to the mesh size \(h\) in \(L^2\)-norm when \(h\) is small enough. Numerically they observe that these two multiscale DG methods achieve at least second-order convergence when \(h\gtrsim\varepsilon\) and optimal high-order convergence when \(h\lesssim\varepsilon\), where \(\varepsilon\) is the scale of the wave length. The authors also demonstrate the ability of the method to capture highly oscillatory solutions of the Schrödinger equation in the application of the resonant tunneling diode model.
