Superconvergence of the local discontinuous Galerkin method for nonlinear convection-diffusion problems

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the superconvergence of the local discontinuous Galerkin methods for nonlinear convection-diffusion equations. We prove that the numerical solution is ( k + 3 / 2 ) $(k+3/2)$ th-order superconvergent to a particular projection of the exact solution, when the upwind...
