This book discusses the discontinuous Galerkin family of computational methods
for solving partial differential equations. While these methods have been known
since the early 1970s, they have experienced a phenomenal growth in interest during
the last ten to fifteen years, leading both to substantial theoretical developments
and the application of these methods to a broad range of problems.
These methods are distinct in nature from standard methods such as finite element
or finite difference methods, often presenting a challenge in the transition
from theoretical developments to actual implementations and applications.
This book is suitable for graduate level classes in applied and computational
mathematics. The combination of an in-depth discussion of the fundamental
properties of the discontinuous Galerkin computational methods with the availability
of extensive accompanying Matlab based implementations allows students
to gain first-hand experience from the beginning without eliminating theoretical
insight.
Jan S. Hesthaven is a professor of Applied Mathematics at Brown University.
Tim Warburton is an assistant professor of Applied and Computational
Mathematics at Rice University.
