Abstract
It is known that discontinuous finite element methods use more unknown variables but have the same convergence rate comparing to their continuous counterpart. In this paper, a novel conforming discontinuous Galerkin (CDG) finite element method is introduced for Poisson equation using discontinuous Pk elements on triangular and tetrahedral meshes. Our new CDG method maximizes the potential of discontinuous Pk element in order to improve the convergence rate. Superconvergence of order two for the CDG finite element solution is proved in an energy norm and in the L2 norm. A local post-process is defined which lifts a Pk CDG solution to a discontinuous Pk+2 solution. It is proved that the lifted Pk+2 solution converges at the optimal order. The numerical tests confirm the theoretic findings. Numerical comparison is provided in 2D and 3D, showing the Pk CDG finite element is as good as the Pk+2 continuous Galerkin finite element.
