| Popis: | In this paper, we study the convergence and superconvergence properties of an ultra weak discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for linear fourth-order boundary-value problems (BVPs). We prove several optimal L 2 error estimates for the solution and its derivatives up to third order. In particular, we prove that the DG solution is ( p + 1 ) -th order convergent in the L 2 -norm, when piecewise polynomials of degree at most p are used. We further prove that the p-degree DG solution and its derivatives up to order three are O ( h 2 p − 2 ) superconvergent at either the downwind points or upwind points. Numerical examples demonstrate that the theoretical rates are sharp. We also observed optimal rates of convergence and superconvergence even for nonlinear BVPs. Our proofs are valid for arbitrary regular meshes and for P p polynomials with degree p ≥ 3 , and for the classical boundary conditions. |
