Abstract

We give an error analysis of the recently developed DPG method applied to solve the Poisson equation and a convection-diffusion problem. We prove that the method is quasioptimal. Error estimates in terms of both the mesh size h and the polynomial degree p (for various element shapes) can be derived from our results. Results of extensive numerical experiments are also presented.
