“…Experiments with the GrFEM have shown an increase in economy and in the nodal accuracy compared to FE solutions of the Burgers' equations [3,5,6] and for other problems [8,4,9,27,32] . Recently, the weak Galerkin finite element method has catched much consideration in the field of numericaln PDEs , The idea of the weak Galerkin method was first introduced by Wang and Ye [14], the method was applied to the second order elliptic equations [1,15,16,19,20,22,24,28], the Stokes equations [17,21], Parabolic equations [10,11,25], biharmonic equations [23,26], Navier-Stokes equations [7,18,30] and 1-D Burgers' equation [31], etc. In this paper we present (WGFEM) and (WGrFEM) for 2-D Burgers' problem with a fully-discrete approximation for the time variable, the backward-difference formula for the time variable is examined and the stability and error estimate are proved for these methods.…”
