✦ Synopsis

The cell discretization algorithm is applied to generate approximate solutions for some second-order non-self-adjoint elliptic equations. General convergence for homogeneous problems is shown by obtaining suitable error estimates. The method is applied using polynomial bases; this provides a nonconforming extension of the finite element method that can also produce the continuous approximations of an h-p finite element method. Numerical tests on convection-diffusion problems are made that confirm the theoretical estimates, and methods for dealing with boundary layer problems are illustrated.

The cell discretization algorithm provides approximate solutions to second-order hyperbolic equations with coefficients independent of time. We obtain error estimates that show general convergence for homogeneous problems using semi-discrete approximations. A polynomial implementation of the algorit

In this paper, we provide L 2 error estimates for the semi-discrete local discontinuous Galerkin methods for nonlinear convection-diffusion equations and KdV equations with smooth solutions. The main technical difficulty is the control of the inter-element jump terms which arise because of the nonli

## Abstract We prove an optimal‐order error estimate in a degenerate‐diffusion weighted energy norm for bilinear Galerkin finite element methods for two‐dimensional time‐dependent convection‐diffusion equations with degenerate diffusion. In the estimate, the generic constants depend only on certain
