AbstractThe embedded discontinuous Galerkin (EDG) method by Cockburn, Gopalakrishnan and Lazarov [B. Cockburn, J. Gopalakrishnan and R. Lazarov, Unified hybridization of discontinuous Galerkin, mixed, and continuous Galerkin methods for second-order elliptic problems, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 47 2009, 2, 1319–1365] is obtained from the hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method by changing the space of the Lagrangian multiplier from discontinuous functions to continuous ones, and adopts piecewise polynomials of equal degrees on simplex meshes for all variables. In this paper, we analyze a new EDG method for second-order elliptic problems on polygonal/polyhedral meshes. By using piecewise polynomials of degrees {k+1}, {k+1}, k ({k\geq 0}) to approximate the potential, numerical trace and flux, respectively, the new method is shown to yield optimal convergence rates for both the potential and flux approximations. Numerical experiments are provided to confirm the theoretical results.
