7 Preliminaries Finite volume method used in computational fluid dynamics, piecewise constant (and hence, discontinuous) approximations. Conforming Galerkin finite element techniques used in structure mechanics, continuous piecewise polynomial approximations on a finite element mesh. Discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM), piecewise polynomial approximations on a finite element mesh without any requirement on the continuity between neighbouring elements. Very flexible schemes. Error estimates for DGFE-solutions are well investigated if one assumes that the exact solution is sufficiently regular. Some papers (Wihler 02, Brenner 09) about less regular solutions. Here, polygons, mixed boundary conditions, weighted spaces, Sobolev-Slobodetskii spaces.
