A finite element method for domain decomposition with non-matching grids

TLDR
In this paper, a method for handling interfaces between non-matching grids based on an approach suggested by Nitsche (1971) for the approximation of Dirichlet boundary conditions is presented.
Abstract
In this note, we propose and analyse a method for handling interfaces between non-matching grids based on an approach suggested by Nitsche (1971) for the approximation of Dirichlet boundary conditions. The exposition is limited to self-adjoint elliptic problems, using Poisson's equation as a model. A priori and a posteriori error estimates are given. Some numerical results are included.

Unified Analysis of Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Elliptic Problems

TL;DR: In this paper, a framework for the analysis of a large class of discontinuous Galerkin methods for second-order elliptic problems is provided, which allows for the understanding and comparison of most of the discontinuous methods that have been proposed over the past three decades.

An A Priori Error Analysis of the Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Elliptic Problems

TL;DR: This paper presents the first a priori error analysis for the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for a model elliptic problem and shows that, for stabilization parameters of order one, the L2-norm of the gradient and the L1- norm of the potential are of order k and k+1/2, respectively.

A discontinuous Galerkin method with nonoverlapping domain decomposition for the Stokes and Navier-Stokes problems

TL;DR: A family of discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods is formulated and analyzed for Stokes and Navier-Stokes problems and it is shown that the method can treat a finite number of nonoverlapping domains with nonmatching grids at interfaces.

Galerkin Finite Element Methods for Parabolic Problems

An Interior Penalty Finite Element Method with Discontinuous Elements

TL;DR: In this paper, a semidiscrete finite element method for the solution of second order nonlinear parabolic boundary value problems is formulated and analyzed, where the test and trial spaces consist of discontinuous piecewise polynomial functions over quite general meshes with interelement continuity enforced approximately by means of penalties.
