A new variational formulation based on discontinuous Galerkin technique for a reaction-diffusion problem

In this paper, a new variational formulation based on discontinuous Galerkin technique for a reaction-diffusion problem is introduced, and the discontinuous Galerkin technique of this work is different from the general discontinuous Galerkin methods. The well posedness of the new formulation is given. Finally, it is pointed that the new variational formulation will be helpful to design better hybrid numerical methods which will not only strongly stable in spatial variable and absolutely stable in temporal variable but also be optimally convergent.
