On the Discontinuous Galerkin method for Friedrichs Systems in Graph Spaces
Max Jensen

May 2005, 9 pages

Solutions of Friedrichs systems are in general not of Sobolev regularity and may possess discontinuities along the characteristics of the differential operator. We state a setting in which the well-posedness of Friedrichs systems on polyhedral domains is ensured, while still allowing changes in the intertial type of the boundary. In this framework the discontinuous Galerkin method converges in the energy norm under h- and p-refinement to the exact solution.
