Multisymplecticity of hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin methods Stern, Ari

Description

This talk discusses the application of hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) methods to canonical Hamiltonian PDEs. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for an HDG method to satisfy a multisymplectic conservation law, when applied to such a system, and show that these conditions are satisfied by "hybridized" versions of several of the most commonly-used finite element methods. These finite element methods may therefore be used for high-order, structure-preserving discretization of Hamiltonian PDEs on unstructured meshes. (Joint work with Robert McLachlan.)
