Download or read book Nodal Discontinuous Galerkin Methods written by Jan S. Hesthaven and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an introduction to the key ideas, basic analysis, and efficient implementation of discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (DG-FEM) for the solution of partial differential equations. It covers all key theoretical results, including an overview of relevant results from approximation theory, convergence theory for numerical PDE’s, and orthogonal polynomials. Through embedded Matlab codes, coverage discusses and implements the algorithms for a number of classic systems of PDE’s: Maxwell’s equations, Euler equations, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and Poisson- and Helmholtz equations.
