- Description
- ABSTRACT: We give an overview of the evolution of the so-called hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) methods for partial differential equations. For the sake of simplicity, we work in the framework of steady-state diffusion problems. We introduce the methods and show that their distinctive feature is that they are automatically amenable to static condensation, which renders them efficiently implementable. We then show that the methods have been developed in several stages each of which is characterized by the introduction of a new idea resulting in more efficient and versatile methods. We end by briefly reviewing their extension to many partial differential equations.
