Review text

The authors describe the \(p\)-version of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for a nonhomogeneous parabolic boundary value problem with Neumann boundary condition. An error analysis is presented. A computational method that uses a general form of the matrix associated with the discretization of time variable using the \(p\)-finite element basis is described. The effectiveness of the method is established by considering two numerical examples of heat conduction problems. In the first example, a three-dimensional thin plate is considered and the errors at three different cross sections are presented, which are growing with time. The second example of a square plate also depicts the same pattern. No attempt is made to show the convergence of the results.
