An $hp$-version error analysis of the discontinuous Galerkin method for linear elasticity

Abstract

An $hp$-version error analysis is developed for the general DG method in mixed formulation for solving the linear elastic problem. First of all, we give the $hp$-version error estimates of two $L^2$ projection operators. Then incorporated with the techniques in [11], we obtain the $hp$-version error estimates in energy norm and $L^2$ norm. Some numerical experiments are provided for demonstrating the theoretical results.
