Abstract. In this paper, we develop a symmetric Galerkin method with interior penalty terms to construct fully discrete approximations of the solution for nonlinear Sobolev equations. To analyze the convergence of discontinuous Galerkin approximations, we introduce an appropriate projection and derive the optimal L 2 error estimates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
