Discontinuous Galerkin immersed finite element methods for parabolic interface problems

In this article, interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin methods using immersed finite element functions are employed to solve parabolic interface problems. Typical semi-discrete and fully discrete schemes are presented and analyzed. Optimal convergence for both semi-discrete and fully discrete schemes is proved. Some numerical experiments are provided to validate our theoretical results.
