Supercloseness of the LDG method for a two-dimensional singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem on Bakhvalov-type mesh (2305.10778v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we focus on analyzing the supercloseness property of a two-dimensional singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem with exponential boundary layers. The local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method with piecewise tensor-product polynomials of degree k is applied to Bakhvalov-type mesh. By developing special two-dimensional local Gauss-Radau projections and establishing a novel interpolation, supercloseness of an optimal order k+1 can be achieved on Bakhvalov-type mesh. It is crucial to highlight that this supercloseness result is independent of the singular perturbation parameter.
