Abstract：

Superconvergence phenomenon is well understood for the h-version finite element method and researchers in this old field have accumulated a vast literature during the past 50 years. However, the relevant study for other numerical methods such as the p-version finite element method, spectral methods, discontinuous Galerkin methods, and finite volume methods is lacking. We believe that the scientific community would also benefit from the study of superconvergence phenomenon of those methods. In recent years, efforts have been made to expand the territory of the superconvergence. In this talk, we present some recent development on superconvergence study for discontinuous Galerkin methods.
