A reconstructed discontinuous approximation on unfitted meshes to [formula omitted] and [formula omitted] interface problems

Abstract

We propose a high-order discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for solving the H(div)- and H(curl)-elliptic interface problems on unfitted meshes. The vector-valued approximation space is constructed by the patch reconstruction with at most d degrees of freedom per element. The C2-smooth interface is allowed to intersect elements in a quite general setup. The patch reconstruction provides the stability near the interface naturally without any additional stabilization strategy. The method is based on the symmetric interior penalty method and the optimal and suboptimal convergence rates under the energy norm and L2 norm are derived. Numerical examples in both two and three dimensions are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the method.
