Discontinuous Galerkin Method for solution of singularly perturbed problems

The objective of our paper is to develop and verify a stable computational finiteelement scheme for solution of singularly perturbed problems.

In this paper we present a nonconformal finite element method (the Discontinuous Galerkin Method) using special lifting-operators that enhance the stability of the computational scheme.

The computational scheme with special stabilizing terms and lifting-operators is proposed. The verification of the computational scheme is carried out in the model problem class. The optimal change range of the Bassi and Arnold stabilizers was defined. The efficacy of the ℎ-refinement technology application for solving the singularly perturbed problems was substantiated.

A high flexibility Discontinuous Galerkin Method allows you to apply this computational scheme for solving the problems with singular perturbations and boundary layers. It was found that the optimal choice of stabilization parameter can effectively apply the ℎ-refinement technology to find solutions and significantly reduce the dimension of the matrix linear systems. Because of the local conservatism, all the computing circuits based on the Discontinuous Galerkin Method give an adequate idea for solving the problem on a fairly coarse tessellation computational domain.

A sharp increase in the dimension of the SLAE matrix using the high-order basis functions and a high computational scheme sensitivity to the choice the stabilizing parameters is the main disadvantages of the computational scheme.
