An $L^p$-primal-dual finite element method for first-order transport problems (2212.12783v1)

Abstract: A new $L^p$-primal-dual weak Galerkin method ($L^p$-PDWG) with $p>1$ is proposed for the first-order transport problems. The existence and uniqueness of the $L^p$-PDWG numerical solutions is established. In addition, the $L^p$-PDWG method offers a numerical solution which retains mass conservation locally on each element. An optimal order error estimate is established for the primal variable. A series of numerical results are presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed $L^p$-PDWG scheme.
