Error Analysis of an HDG Method with Impedance Traces for the Helmholtz Equation

Abstract

In this work, a novel analysis of a hybrid discontinuous Galerkin method for the Helmholtz equation is presented. It uses wavenumber, mesh size and polynomial degree independent stabilisation parameters leading to impedance traces between elements. With analysis techniques based on projection operators unique discrete solvability without a resolution condition and optimal convergence rates with respect to the mesh size are proven. The considered method is tailored towards enabling static condensation and the usage of iterative solvers.
