ABSTRACT

In this paper, we investigate how many convergence orders of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for numerically solving neutral delay differential equations (NDDEs). Although discontinuous behaviour may occur in the derivatives of the exact solution at every breaking point, it is shown that the convergence order of the p-degree DG solution at the mesh points and characteristic points can achieve O(h2p+1) and O(hp+2), respectively. Numerical examples are also reported to confirm the theoretical results.
