Discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for parabolic problems. (English) Zbl 1111.65087

The authors develop a time and its corresponding spatial discretization scheme, based upon the assumption of a certain weak singularity of \(| | u_t(t)| | _{L_2(\Omega)}=| | u_t| | _2\), for the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for one-dimensional parabolic problems. They give optimal convergence rates in both time and spatial variables.
