Local discontinuous Galerkin method on graded meshes for a third‐order singularly perturbed problem

Abstract

AbstractWe consider the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for a third order singularly perturbed problem with different kinds of boundary layer. On graded Duran‐Shishkin and Duran type meshes, we prove optimal order error estimate in the energy‐norm which is valid uniformly up to a logarithmic factor. Numerical experiments are given to confirm our theoretical findings.
