On the Stability of Continuous-Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Advection-Diffusion-Reaction Problems

Numerical Analysis 2012-11-06 v1

Abstract

We consider a finite element method which couples the continuous Galerkin method away from internal and boundary layers with a discontinuous Galerkin method in the vicinity of layers. We prove that this consistent method is stable in the streamline diffusion norm if the convection field flows non-characteristically from the region of the continuous Galerkin to the region of the discontinuous Galerkin method. The stability properties of the coupled method are illustrated by numerical experiments.
