TLDR
In this paper, the authors describe the class of finite element subspaces and explain the main result on the accuracy of K h * u h, where K h is a fixed function, u h represents local averages, and * denotes convolution.
Abstract
This chapter describes the class of finite element subspaces and explains the main result on the accuracy of K h * u h ,where K h is a fixed function, u h represents local averages, and * denotes convolution. The function K h has the following properties: (1) K h has small support; (2) K h is independent of the specific choice of S h or the operator L; (3) K h * u h is easily computable from u h ; and (4) K h * u h approximates u to higher order than does u h . The chapter also discusses on notation, subspaces and the construction of K h .

The superconvergent patch recovery and a posteriori error estimates. Part 1: The recovery technique

TL;DR: In this article, a general recovery technique is developed for determining the derivatives (stresses) of the finite element solutions at nodes, which has been tested for a group of widely used linear, quadratic and cubic elements for both one and two dimensional problems.

Review Article Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Convection-Dominated Problems

TL;DR: The theoretical and algorithmic aspects of the Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin methods are reviewed and several applications including nonlinear conservation laws, the compressible and incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, and Hamilton–Jacobi-like equations are shown.

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.

The finite element method with Lagrangian multipliers

TL;DR: In this article, the Dirichlet problem for second order differential equations is chosen as a model problem to show how the finite element method may be implemented to avoid difficulty in fulfilling essential (stable) boundary conditions.
