A Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Higher-Order Differential Equations Applied to the Wave Equation

We propose a new discontinuous finite element method for higher-order initial value problems where the finite element solution exhibits an optimal convergence rate in the L2- norm. We further show that the q-degree discontinuous solution of a differential equation of order m and its first (m-1)-deri...
