Abstract: New hybridized discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) methods for the interface problem for elliptic equations are proposed. Unknown functions of our schemes are

u_{h}

in elements and

h a t u_{h}

on inter-element edges. That is, we formulate our schemes without introducing the flux variable. Our schemes naturally satisfy the Galerkin orthogonality. The solution

u

of the interface problem under consideration may not have a sufficient regularity, say

u |_{O m e g a_{1}} i n H^{2} (O m e g a_{1})

and

u |_{O m e g a_{2}} i n H^{2} (O m e g a_{2})

, where

O m e g a_{1}

and

O m e g a_{2}

are subdomains of the whole domain

O m e g a

and

G a m m a = p a r t i a l O m e g a_{1} c a p p a r t i a l O m e g a_{2}

implies the interface. We study the convergence, assuming

u |_{O m e g a_{1}} i n H^{1 + s} (O m e g a_{1})

and

u |_{O m e g a_{2}} i n H^{1 + s} (O m e g a_{2})

for some

s i n (1 / 2, 1]

, where

H^{1 + s}

denotes the fractional order Sobolev space. Consequently, we succeed in deriving optimal order error estimates in an HDG norm and the

L^{2}

norm. Numerical examples to validate our results are also presented.
