Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the accuracy-enhancement for the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for solving one-dimensional nonlinear symmetric systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. For nonlinear equations, the divided difference estimate is an important tool that allows for superconvergence of the post-processed solutions in the local L2-norm. Therefore, we first prove that the L2-norm of the α-th order (1≤ α≤ k+1) divided difference of the DG error with upwind fluxes is of order k+(3-α)/2, provided that the flux Jacobian matrix, f'(u), is symmetric positive definite. Furthermore, using the duality argument, we are able to derive superconvergence estimates of order 2k+(3-α)/2 for the negative-order norm, indicating that some particular compact kernels can be used to extract at least (3k/2+1)-th order superconvergence for nonlinear systems of conservation laws. Numerical experiments are shown to demonstrate the theoretical results.
