FESTUNG: A MATLAB/GNU Octave toolbox for the discontinuous Galerkin method. Part III: Hybridized discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) formulation

The third paper in our series on open source MATLAB/GNU Octave implementation of the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method(s) focuses on a hybridized formulation. The main aim of this ongoing work is to develop rapid prototyping techniques covering a range of standard DG methodologies and suitable for small to medium sized applications. Our FESTUNG package relies on fully vectorized matrix/vector operations throughout, and all details of the implementation are fully documented. Once again, great care is taken to maintain a direct mapping between discretization terms and code routines as well as to ensure full compatibility to GNU Octave. The current work formulates a hybridized DG scheme for a linear advection problem, describes hybrid approximation spaces on the mesh skeleton, and compares the performance of this discretization to the standard (elementbased) DG method for different polynomial orders.
