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.

IIn this paper, two finite difference methods are used to solve the one-dimensional second order wave equation with constant coefficients subject to specified initial and boundary conditions. Two numerical experiments are considered. The two methods are Central in Time and Central in Space scheme with second order accuracy in both time and space, abbreviated as CTCS (2,2) and Central in Time and Central in Space scheme with second order accuracy in time and fourth order accuracy in space, abbreviated as CTCS (2,4). Properties such as consistency and stability are studied. We also perform spectral analysis of dispersive and dissipative properties of the two methods. Two numerical experiments are considered, and the numerical results are displayed.
