  • Abstract

    The objective of this paper is to propose a modest numerical error analysis by applying DG finite element method for the parabolic differential equation. The DG method is an imperative numerical method with much mass compensation and more flexible meshing than other numerical methods. The DG method starts by discretizing the domain into a set of non-overlapping elements. This study gives a general introduction and discuss about the discontinuous Galerkin Method of first order parabolic problem. The parabolic problem satisfies the condition of the existence and uniqueness of DG solution. The main goal of this study is to theoretically explore the convergence of the solution of the above methods and show the validity of the results.
