Abstract
This paper shows that the discontinuous Galerkin collocation spectral element method with Gauss--Lobatto points (DGSEM-GL) satisfies the discrete summation-by-parts (SBP) property and can thus be classified as an SBP-SAT (simultaneous approximation term) scheme with a diagonal norm operator. In the same way, SBP-SAT finite difference schemes can be interpreted as discontinuous Galerkin-type methods with a corresponding weak formulation based on an inner-product formulation common in the finite element community. This relation allows the use of matrix-vector notation (common in the SBP-SAT finite difference community) to show discrete conservation for the split operator formulation of scalar nonlinear conservation laws for DGSEM-GL and diagonal norm SBP-SAT. Based on this result, a skew-symmetric energy stable discretely conservative DGSEM-GL formulation (applicable to general diagonal norm SBP-SAT schemes) for the nonlinear Burgers equation is constructed.
