Abstract
We introduce a discontinuous Galerkin method with Lagrange multiplier (DGLM) to approximate the solution to the hyperbolic conservation laws with boundary conditions. Lagrange multipliers are introduced on the edge/face of the element via weak divergence (Wang and Ye, 2014). The final global system has reduced numbers of unknowns of the standard DG methods. Numerical fluxes from finite volume/difference method are not considered. For the time discretization, backward Euler difference method is used. Stability of the approximate solution is proved in energy norm. Discontinuity of the solution is allowed in the error analysis. Local error estimates of O(hr+12+Ît) with Pr(E) elements (râ¥d+12) are derived, where h and Ît are the maximum diameter of the elements and time steps, respectively, and d is the dimension of the spatial domain. The high order approximation is obtained under an appropriate condition on the stabilizing parameter. It is shown that the method preserves the property of the local mass conservation. An explanation on algorithmic aspects is given.
