THE (p, p - 1)-HDG METHOD FOR THE HELMHOLTZ EQUATION WITH LARGE WAVE NUMBER.

In this paper, we analyze a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method for the Helmholtz equation with large wave number, which uses piecewise polynomials of degree of p ≥ 1 to approximate the potential u and its traces and piecewise polynomials of degree of p - 1 for the flux q. It is proved that ... and ... hold under the conditions that k(kh)^2p is sufficiently small and that the penalty parameter ..., where h is the mesh size. Numerical experiments are proposed to verify our theoretical findings and to show that the pollution error may be greatly reduced by tuning the penalty parameter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
