hp-dGFEM for second-order elliptic problems in polyhedra. I: Stability and quasioptimality on geometric meshes

Abstract
We introduce and analyze $hp$-version discontinuous Galerkin (dG) finite element methods for the numerical approximation of linear second-order elliptic boundary value problems in three dimensional polyhedral domains. In order to resolve possible corner-, edge- and corner-edge singularities, we consider hexahedral meshes that are geometrically and anisotropically refined towards the corresponding neighborhoods. Similarly, the local polynomial degrees are increased s-linearly and possibly anisotropically away from singularities. We design interior penalty hp-dG methods and prove that they are well-defined for problems with singular solutions and stable under the proposed $hp$-refinements, i.e., on $\sigma$-geometric anisotropic meshes of mapped hexahedra with $\kappa$-uniform element mappings and anisotropic polynomial degree distributions of $\mu$-bounded variation. We establish a quasioptimality result that will allow us to prove exponential rates of convergence in the second part of this work.
