Abstract

We show, in the framework of steady-state diffusion boundary-value problems, that the staggered discontinuous Galerkin (SDG) method [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 47 (2009), pp. 3820- 3848] can be obtained from a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 47 (2009), pp. 1319-1365] by setting its stabilization function to zero at some suitably chosen element faces and by letting it go to infinity at all the remaining others. We then show that this point of view allows the SDG method to immediately acquire new properties all inherited from the HDG methods, namely, their efficient implementation (by hybridization), their postprocessings, and their superconvergence properties.
