AbstractWe consider the hp-version of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximation of boundary value problems for the biharmonic equation. Our main concern is the a priori error analysis of the method, based on a nonsymmetric bilinear form with interior discontinuity penalization terms. We establish an a priori error bound for the method which is of optimal order with respect to the mesh size h , and nearly optimal with respect to the degree p of the polynomial approximation. For analytic solutions, the method exhibits an exponential rate of convergence under p- refinement. These results are shown in the DG-norm for a general shape regular family of partitions consisting of d-dimensional parallelepipeds. The theoretical results are confirmed by numerical experiments. The method has also been tested on several practical problems of thin-plate-bending theory and has been shown to be competitive in accuracy with existing algorithms.
