Abstract Hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) methods retain the main advantages of standard discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods, including their flexibility in meshing, ease of design and implementation, ease of use within an $hp$-adaptive strategy and preservation of local conservation of physical quantities. Moreover, HDG methods can significantly reduce the number of degrees of freedom, resulting in a substantial reduction of computational cost. In this paper, we study an HDG method for the second-order elliptic problem with discontinuous coefficients. The numerical scheme is proposed on general polygonal and polyhedral meshes with specially designed stabilization parameters. Robust a priori and a posteriori error estimates are derived without a full elliptic regularity assumption. The proposed a posteriori error estimators are proved to be efficient and reliable without a quasi-monotonicity assumption on the diffusion coefficient.

AbstractAn averaging method for the second-order approximation of the values of the gradient of an arbitrary smooth function u = u(x 1, x 2) at the vertices of a regular triangulation T h composed both of rectangles and triangles is presented. The method assumes that only the interpolant Πh[u] of u in the finite element space of the linear triangular and bilinear rectangular finite elements from T h is known. A complete analysis of this method is an extension of the complete analysis concerning the finite element spaces of linear triangular elements from [Dalík J., Averaging of directional derivatives in vertices of nonobtuse regular triangulations, Numer. Math., 2010, 116(4), 619–644]. The second-order approximation of the gradient is extended from the vertices to the whole domain and applied to the a posteriori error estimates of the finite element solutions of the planar elliptic boundary-value problems of second order. Numerical illustrations of the accuracy of the averaging method and of the quality of the a posteriori error estimates are also presented.
