Discontinuous Galerkin approximation of linear parabolic problems with dynamic boundary conditions

In this paper we propose and analyze a Discontinuous Galerkin method for a linear parabolic problem with dynamic boundary conditions. We present the formulation and prove stability and optimal a priori error estimates for the fully discrete scheme. More precisely, using polynomials of degree $p\geq 1$ on meshes with granularity $h$ along with a backward Euler time-stepping scheme with time-step $\Delta t$, we prove that the fully-discrete solution is bounded by the data and it converges, in a suitable (mesh-dependent) energy norm, to the exact solution with optimal order $h^p + \Delta t$. The sharpness of the theoretical estimates are verified through several numerical experiments.

High order discontinuous Galerkin methods on surfaces

We derive and analyze high order discontinuous Galerkin methods for second-order elliptic problems on implicitely defined surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. This is done by carefully adapting the unified discontinuous Galerkin framework of Arnold et al. [2002] on a triangulated surface approximating the smooth surface. We prove optimal error estimates in both a (mesh dependent) energy norm and the $L^2$ norm.
