    Abstract

  • In this paper, we apply the post-processing technique to the improvement of the superconvergence of the discontinuous Galerkin method for the nonlinear convection-diffusion equations. We firstly analyze the error estimate and convergence accuracy under $ L^{2} $-norm, and then demonstrate that the $ \alpha $-order difference quotient of DG error is of order $ k+3/2-\alpha/2 $ when the upwind fluxes are used. By the duality argument, we construct an appropriate dual equation, and futher obtain superconvergence results of order in the negative-order norm, namely $ 2k+3/2-\alpha/2 $ order superconvergence accuracy. Finally, we choose an appropriate kernel function and apply the SIAC filter to the nonlinear convection-diffusion equation to obtain at least $ 3k/2+1 $ order superconvergence for post-processed solutions. All theoretical results are proved by numerical experiments.
