Abstract
For fully nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems in divergence form, improved error estimates are derived in the frame work of a class of expanded discontinuous Galerkin methods. It is shown that the error estimate for the discrete flux in L2-norm is of order k+1, when piecewise polynomials of degree kâ¥1 are used to approximate both potential as well as flux variables. Then, solving a discrete linear elliptic problem in each element locally, a suitable post-processing of the discrete potential is proposed and it is proved that the resulting post-processed potential converges with order of convergence k+2 in L2-norm. By choosing stabilizing parameters appropriately, similar results are derived for the expanded HDG methods for nonlinear elliptic problems.
