Abstract:
Discrete schemes for finding an approximate solution of the Dirichlet problem for a second-order quasilinear elliptic equation in conservative form are investigated. The schemes are based on the discontinuous Galerkin method (DG schemes) in a mixed formulation and do not involve internal penalty parameters. Error estimates typical of DG schemes with internal penalty are obtained. A new result in the analysis of the schemes is that they are proved to satisfy the Ladyzhenskaya–Babuska–Brezzi condition (inf-sup) condition.
