A priori and a posteriori error analysis of the first order hyperbolic equation by using DG method

Abstract

In this research article, a discontinuous Galerkin method with a weighted parameterθand a penalty parameterγis proposed for solving the first order hyperbolic equation. The key aim of this method is to design an error estimation for both a priori and a posteriori error analysis on general finite element meshes. It is also exposed to the reliability and effectiveness of both parameters in the order of convergence of the solutions. For a posteriori error estimation, residual adaptive mesh- refining algorithm is employed. A series of numerical experiments are illustrated that demonstrate the efficiency of the method.
