Global space-time Trefftz DG schemes for the time-dependent linear nonhomogeneous and anisotropic wave equation
share
In this paper we are concerned with Trefftz discretizations of the time-dependent linear wave equation in anisotropic media in arbitrary space dimensional domains Ω⊂ℝ^d (d∈ℕ). We propose two variants of the Trefftz DG method, define novel plane wave basis functions based on rigorous choices of scaling transformations and coordinate transformations, and prove that the corresponding approximate solutions possess optimal-order error estimates with respect to the meshwidth h and the condition number of the coefficient matrices, respectively. Furthermore, we propose the global Trefftz DG method combined with local DG methods to solve the time-dependent linear nonhomogeneous wave equation in anisotropic media. In particular, the error analysis holds for the (nonhomogeneous) Dirichlet, Neumann, and mixed boundary conditions from the original PDEs. The numerical results verify the validity of the theoretical results, and show that the resulting approximate solutions possess high accuracy.
