Hybrid weakly over-penalised symmetric interior penalty method on anisotropic meshes

Abstract

In this study, we investigate a hybrid-type anisotropic weakly over-penalised symmetric interior penalty method for the Poisson equation on convex domains. Compared with the well-known hybrid discontinuous Galerkin methods, our approach is simple and easy to implement. Our primary contributions are the proposal of a new scheme and the demonstration of a proof for the consistency term, which allows us to estimate the anisotropic consistency error. The key idea of the proof is to apply the relation between the Raviart--Thomas finite element space and a discontinuous space. In numerical experiments, we compare the calculation results for standard and anisotropic mesh partitions.
