摘要

We study the convergence properties of the <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="h p"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>h</mml:mi> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">hp</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> -version of the local discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for convection-diffusion problems; we consider a model problem in a one-dimensional space domain. We allow arbitrary meshes and polynomial degree distributions and obtain upper bounds for the energy norm of the error which are explicit in the mesh-width <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="h"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>h</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">h</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> , in the polynomial degree <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="p"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">p</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> , and in the regularity of the exact solution. We identify a special numerical flux for which the estimates are optimal in both <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="h"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>h</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">h</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> and <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="p"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">p</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> . The theoretical results are confirmed in a series of numerical examples.
