abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">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 $P_k$ elements on triangular and tetrahedral meshes. Our new CDG method maximizes the potential of discontinuous $P_k$ 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 $L^2$ norm. A local post-process is defined which lifts a $P_k$ CDG solution to a discontinuous $P_{k+2}$ solution. It is proved that the lifted $P_{k+2}$ solution converges at the
optimal order. The numerical tests confirm the theoretic findings. Numerical comparison is provided in 2D and 3D, showing the $P_k$ CDG finite element is as good as the $P_{k+2}$ continuous Galerkin finite element.</p>},
