摘要: In this paper, we study the superconvergence properties of the energy-conserving discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method in[18] for one-dimensional linear hyperbolic equations. We prove the approximate solution superconverges to a particular projection of the exact solution. The order of this superconvergence is proved to be k + 2 when piecewise Pk polynomials with k ≥ 1 are used. The proof is valid for arbitrary non-uniform regular meshes and for piecewise Pk polynomials with arbitrary k ≥ 1. Furthermore, we find that the derivative and function value approximations of the DG solution are superconvergent at a class of special points, with an order of k + 1 and k + 2, respectively. We also prove, under suitable choice of initial discretization, a (2k + 1)-th order superconvergence rate of the DG solution for the numerical fluxes and the cell averages. Numerical experiments are given to demonstrate these theoretical results.
