Abstract: We present and analyze a weak Galerkin finite element method for solving the transport-reaction equation in d space dimensions. This method is highly flexible by allowing the use of discontinuous finite element on general meshes consisting of arbitrary polygon/polyhedra. We derive the extcolor[rgb]{0.00,0.00,1.00}{L2-error estimate} of O(hk+frac12)-order for the discrete solution when the kth-order polynomials are used for kgeq0. Moreover, for a special class of meshes, we also obtain the extcolor[rgb]{0.00,0.00,1.00}{optimal error} estimate of O(hk+1)-order in the L2-norm. A derivative recovery formula is presented to approximate the convection extcolor[rgb]{1.00,0.00,0.00}{directional derivative} and the corresponding superconvergence estimate is given. Numerical examples on compatible and non-compatible meshes are provided to show the effectiveness of this weak Galerkin method.
