Pointwise Error Estimates of Discontinuous Galerkin Methods with Penalty for Second-Order Elliptic Problems

In this paper discontinuous Galerkin methods with penalty for solving second-order elliptic problems are considered. Error estimates are studied for these methods. In particular, optimal localized pointwise error estimates are established on quasi-uniform grids in RN (N \ge 2).
