We present some numerical schemes based on the weak Galerkin finite element method for one class of Sobolev equations, in which differential operators are approximated by weak forms through the usual integration by parts. In particular, the numerical method allows the use of discontinuous finite element functions and arbitrary shape of element. The proposed schemes will be proved to have good numerical stability and high order accuracy when time variable is continuous. Also an optimal error estimate is obtained for the fully discrete scheme. Finally, some numerical results are given to verify our analysis for the scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract In this paper we provide an expanded mixed finite element method for a class of two-dimensional Sobolev equations. The optimal error estimates for a semi-discrete scheme and a fully discrete scheme are obtained. Also numerical examples are stated to verify our theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
