A polygonal discontinuous Galerkin method with minus one stabilization

We propose a discontinuous Galerkin method for the Poisson equation on polygonal tessellations in two dimensions, stabilized by penalizing, locally in each element K, a residual term involving the fluxes, measured in the norm of the dual of H1 (K). The scalar product corresponding to such a norm is numerically realized via the introduction of a (minimal) auxiliary space inspired by the Virtual Element Method. Stability and optimal error estimates in the broken H1 norm are proven under a weak shape regularity assumption allowing the presence of very small edges. The results of numerical tests confirm the theoretical estimates.
