Discrete Poincaré and Trace Inequalities for the Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin Method (2403.19004v2)

Published 27 Mar 2024 in math.NA and cs.NA

Abstract: In this paper, we derive discrete Poincar\'e and trace inequalities for the hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method. We employ the Crouzeix-Raviart space as a bridge, connecting classical discrete functional tools from Brenner's foundational work \cite{brenner2003poincare} with hybridizable finite element spaces comprised of piecewise polynomial functions defined both within the element interiors and on the mesh skeleton. This approach yields custom-tailored inequalities that underpin the stability analysis of HDG discretizations. The resulting framework is then used to demonstrate the well-posedness and robustness of HDG-based numerical schemes for second-order elliptic problems, even under minimal regularity assumptions on the source term and boundary data.
