Theme:

The discontinuous Galerkin Method is a well-established approach for the numerical solution of PDEs with applications ranging from electromagnetic scattering to fluid and structural mechanics. One of the reasons of the success of the DG paradigm is its flexibility and capability to incorporate different numerical methodologies: high order approximation, a posteriori error control, Trefftz approximation, hp time stepping. The aim of the workshop is to bring together the leading scientists and active young researchers, mostly from the UK, working in the field of discontinuous Galerkin methods and initiate intensive idea exchanges and new collaborations.
