In this paper, we consider the linear convection-diffusion equation in one dimension with periodic boundary conditions, and analyze the stability of fully discrete methods that are defined with local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) methods in space and several implicit-explicit (IMEX) Runge-Kutta methods in time. By using the forward temporal differences and backward temporal differences, respectively, we establish two general frameworks of the energy-method based stability analysis. From here, the fully discrete schemes being considered are shown to have monotonicity stability, i.e. the L 2 L^2 norm of the numerical solution does not increase in time, under the time step condition τ ≤ F ( h / c , d / c 2 ) \tau \le \mathcal {F}(h/c, d/c^2) , with the convection coefficient c c , the diffusion coefficient d d , and the mesh size h h . The function F \mathcal {F} depends on the specific IMEX temporal method, the polynomial degree k k of the discrete space, and the mesh regularity parameter. Moreover, the time step condition becomes τ ≲ h / c \tau \lesssim h/c in the convection-dominated regime and it becomes τ ≲ d / c 2 \tau \lesssim d/c^2 in the diffusion-dominated regime. The result is improved for a first order IMEX-LDG method. To complement the theoretical analysis, numerical experiments are further carried out, leading to slightly stricter time step conditions that can be used by practitioners. Uniform stability with respect to the strength of the convection and diffusion effects can especially be relevant to guide the choice of time step sizes in practice, e.g. when the convection-diffusion equations are convection-dominated in some sub-regions.

Fixed-point fast sweeping WENO methods are a class of efficient high-order numerical methods to solve steady-state solutions of hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). The Gauss-Seidel iterations and alternating sweeping strategy are used to cover characteristics of hyperbolic PDEs in each sweeping order to achieve fast convergence rate to steady-state solutions. A nice property of fixed-point fast sweeping WENO methods which distinguishes them from other fast sweeping methods is that they are explicit and do not require inverse operation of nonlinear local systems. Hence, they are easy to be applied to a general hyperbolic system. To deal with the difficulties associated with numerical boundary treatment when high-order finite difference methods on a Cartesian mesh are used to solve hyperbolic PDEs on complex domains, inverse Lax-Wendroff (ILW) procedures were developed as a very effective approach in the literature. In this paper, we combine a fifth-order fixed-point fast sweeping WENO method with an ILW procedure to solve steady-state solution of hyperbolic conservation laws on complex computing regions. Numerical experiments are performed to test the method in solving various problems including the cases with the physical boundary not aligned with the grids. Numerical results show high-order accuracy and good performance of the method. Furthermore, the method is compared with the popular third-order total variation diminishing Runge-Kutta (TVD-RK3) time-marching method for steady-state computations. Numerical examples show that for most of examples, the fixed-point fast sweeping method saves more than half CPU time costs than TVD-RK3 to converge to steady-state solutions.

Since the classical WENO schemes [27] might suffer from slight post-shock oscillations (which are responsible for the numerical residual to hang at a truncation error level) and the new high-order multi-resolution WENO schemes [59] are successful to solve for steady-state problems, we apply these high-order finite volume multi-resolution WENO techniques to serve as limiters for high-order Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) methods in simulating steady-state problems. Firstly, a new troubled cell indicator is designed to precisely detect the cells which would need further limiting procedures. Then the high-order multi-resolution WENO limiting procedures are adopted on a sequence of hierarchical L 2 projection polynomials of the DG solution within the troubled cell itself. By doing so, these RKDG methods with multi-resolution WENO limiters could gradually degrade from the optimal high-order accuracy to the first-order accuracy near strong discontinuities, suppress the slight post-shock oscillations, and push the numerical residual to settle down to machine zero in steady-state simulations. These new multi-resolution WENO limiters are very simple to construct and can be easily implemented to arbitrary high-order accuracy for solving steady-state problems in multi-dimensions.

Computational Mathematics ,Applied Mathematics - Abstract
In this article, we introduce a new WENO algorithm that aims to calculate an approximation to derivative values of a function in a non-regular grid. We adapt the ideas presented in [Amat et al., SIAM J. Numer. Anal. (2020)] to design the nonlinear weights in a manner such that the order of accuracy is maximum in the intervals close to the discontinuities. Some proofs, remarks on the choice of the stencils and explicit formulas for the weights and smoothness indicators are given. We also present some numerical experiments to confirm the theoretical results.

We propose and analyze a class of robust, uniformly high-order accurate discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes for multidimensional relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) on general meshes. A distinct feature of the schemes is their physical-constraint-preserving (PCP) property, i.e., they are proven to preserve the subluminal constraint on the fluid velocity and the positivity of density, pressure, and internal energy. This is the first time that provably PCP high-order schemes are achieved for multidimensional RMHD. Developing PCP high-order schemes for RMHD is highly desirable but remains a challenging task, especially in the multidimensional cases, due to the inherent strong nonlinearity in the constraints and the effect of the magnetic divergence-free condition. Inspired by some crucial observations at the PDE level, we construct the provably PCP schemes by using the locally divergence-free DG schemes of the recently proposed symmetrizable RMHD equations as the base schemes, a limiting technique to enforce the PCP property of the DG solutions, and the strong-stability-preserving methods for time discretization. We rigorously prove the PCP property by using a novel “quasi-linearization” approach to handle the highly nonlinear physical constraints, technical splitting to offset the influence of divergence error, and sophisticated estimates to analyze the beneficial effect of the additional source term in the symmetrizable RMHD system. Several two-dimensional numerical examples are provided to further confirm the PCP property and to demonstrate the accuracy, effectiveness and robustness of the proposed PCP schemes.

In this paper, we propose a local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for nonlinear and possibly degenerate parabolic stochastic partial differential equations, which is a high-order numerical scheme. It extends the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for purely hyperbolic equations to parabolic equations and shares with the DG method its advantage and flexibility. We prove theL2-stability of the numerical scheme for fully nonlinear equations. Optimal error estimates (O(h(k+1))) for smooth solutions of semi-linear stochastic equations is shown if polynomials of degreekare used. We use an explicit derivative-free order 1.5 time discretization scheme to solve the matrix-valued stochastic ordinary differential equations derived from the spatial discretization. Numerical examples are given to display the performance of the LDG method.

When interpolating data with certain regularity, spline functions are useful. They are defined as piecewise polynomials that satisfy certain regularity conditions at the joints. In the literature about splines it is possible to find several references that study the apparition of Gibbs phenomenon close to jump discontinuities in the results obtained by spline interpolation. This work is devoted to the construction and analysis of a new nonlinear technique that allows to improve the accuracy of splines near jump discontinuities eliminating the Gibbs phenomenon. The adaption is easily attained through a nonlinear modification of the right hand side of the system of equations of the spline, that contains divided differences. The modification is based on the use of a new limiter specifically designed to attain adaption close to jumps in the function. The new limiter can be seen as a nonlinear weighted mean that has better adaption properties than the linear weighted mean. We will prove that the nonlinear modification introduced in the spline keeps the maximum theoretical accuracy in all the domain except at the intervals that contain a jump discontinuity, where Gibbs oscillations are eliminated. Diffusion is introduced, but this is fine if the discontinuity appears due to a discretization of a high gradient with not enough accuracy. The new technique is introduced for cubic splines, but the theory presented allows to generalize the results very easily to splines of any order. The experiments presented satisfy the theoretical aspects analyzed in the paper. We would like to thank the anonymous referees for their valuable comments, which have helped to significantly improve this work.

In this paper, we study the central discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method on overlapping meshes for second order wave equations. We consider the first order hyperbolic system, which is equivalent to the second order scalar equation, and construct the corresponding central DG scheme. We then provide the stability analysis and the optimal error estimates for the proposed central DG scheme for one- and multi-dimensional cases with piecewise Pk elements. The optimal error estimates are valid for uniform Cartesian meshes and polynomials of arbitrary degree k ≥ 0. In particular, we adopt the techniques in Liu et al. (SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 56 (2018) 520–541; ESAIM: M2AN 54 (2020) 705–726) and obtain the local projection that is crucial in deriving the optimal order of convergence. The construction of the projection here is more challenging since the unknowns are highly coupled in the proposed scheme. Dispersion analysis is performed on the proposed scheme for one dimensional problems, indicating that the numerical solution with P1 elements reaches its minimum with a suitable parameter in the dissipation term. Several numerical examples including accuracy tests and long time simulation are presented to validate the theoretical results.

In this work, we propose a novel framework for the numerical solution of time-dependent conservation laws with implicit schemes via primal-dual hybrid gradient methods. We solve an initial value problem (IVP) for the partial differential equation (PDE) by casting it as a saddle point of a min-max problem and using iterative optimization methods to find the saddle point. Our approach is flexible with the choice of both time and spatial discretization schemes. It benefits from the implicit structure and gains large regions of stability, and overcomes the restriction on the mesh size in time by explicit schemes from Courant--Friedrichs--Lewy (CFL) conditions (really via von Neumann stability analysis). Nevertheless, it is highly parallelizable and easy-to-implement. In particular, no nonlinear inversions are required! Specifically, we illustrate our approach using the finite difference scheme and discontinuous Galerkin method for the spatial scheme; backward Euler and backward differentiation formulas for implicit discretization in time. Numerical experiments illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the approach. In future work, we will demonstrate that our idea of replacing an initial-value evolution equation with this primal-dual hybrid gradient approach has great advantages in many other situations.

In this paper, we study superconvergence properties of the ultraweak-local discontinuous Galerkin (UWLDG) method in Tao et al. [To appear in Math. Comput. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1090/mcom/3562 (2020).] for an one-dimensional linear fourth-order equation. With special initial discretizations, we prove the numerical solution of the semi-discrete UWLDG scheme superconverges to a special projection of the exact solution. The order of this superconvergence is proved to be k + min(3, k) when piecewise ℙk polynomials with k ≥ 2 are used. We also prove a 2k-th order superconvergence rate for the cell averages and for the function values and derivatives of the UWLDG approximation at cell boundaries. Moreover, we prove superconvergence of (k + 2)-th and (k + 1)-th order of the function values and the first order derivatives of the UWLDG solution at a class of special quadrature points, respectively. Our proof is valid for arbitrary non-uniform regular meshes and for arbitrary k ≥ 2. Numerical experiments verify that all theoretical findings are sharp.

In this paper, high-order Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) methods with multi-resolution weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) limiters are designed for solving hyperbolic conservation laws on triangular meshes. These multi-resolution WENO limiters are new extensions of the associated multi-resolution WENO finite volume schemes [49] , [50] which serve as limiters for RKDG methods from structured meshes [47] to triangular meshes. Such new WENO limiters use information of the DG solution essentially only within the troubled cell itself which is identified by a new modified version of the original KXRCF indicator [24] , to build a sequence of hierarchical L 2 projection polynomials from zeroth degree to the highest degree of the RKDG method. The second-order, third-order, and fourth-order RKDG methods with associated multi-resolution WENO limiters are developed as examples, which could maintain the original order of accuracy in smooth regions and keep essentially non-oscillatory property near strong shocks or contact discontinuities by gradually degrading from the highest order to the first order. The linear weights inside the procedure of the new multi-resolution WENO limiters can be any positive numbers on the condition that their sum equals one. This is the first time that a series of polynomials of different degrees within the troubled cell itself are applied in a WENO fashion to modify the DG solutions in the troubled cell on triangular meshes. These new WENO limiters are very simple to construct, and can be easily implemented to arbitrary high-order accuracy and in higher dimensions on unstructured meshes. Such spatial reconstruction methodology improves the robustness in the simulation on the same compact spatial stencil of the original DG methods on triangular meshes. Extensive one-dimensional (run as two-dimensional problems on triangular meshes) and two-dimensional tests are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of these RKDG methods with the new multi-resolution WENO limiters.

In this paper, we study the optimal error estimates of the classical discontinuous Galerkin method for time-dependent 2-D hyperbolic equations using Pk elements on uniform Cartesian meshes, and prove that the error in the L2 norm achieves optimal (k + 1)th order convergence when upwind fluxes are used. For the linear constant coefficient case, the results hold true for arbitrary piecewise polynomials of degree k ≥ 0. For variable coefficient and nonlinear cases, we give the proof for piecewise polynomials of degree k = 0, 1, 2, 3 and k = 2, 3, respectively, under the condition that the wind direction does not change. The theoretical results are verified by numerical examples.

Local discontinuous Galerkin methods with generalized alternating numerical fluxes coupled with implicit–explicit time marching for solving convection–diffusion problems is analyzed in this paper, where the explicit part is treated by a strong-stability-preserving Runge–Kutta scheme, and the implicit part is treated by an L-stable diagonally implicit Runge–Kutta method. Based on the generalized alternating numerical flux, we establish the important relationship between the gradient and interface jump of the numerical solution with the independent numerical solution of the gradient, which plays a key role in obtaining the unconditional stability of the proposed schemes. Also by the aid of the generalized Gauss–Radau projection, optimal error estimates can be shown. Numerical experiments are given to verify the stability and accuracy of the proposed schemes with different numerical fluxes.

One- and multi-dimensional stochastic Maxwell equations with additive noise are considered in this paper. It is known that such system can be written in the multi-symplectic structure, and the stochastic energy increases linearly in time. High order discontinuous Galerkin methods are designed for the stochastic Maxwell equations with additive noise, and we show that the proposed methods satisfy the discrete form of the stochastic energy linear growth property and preserve the multi-symplectic structure on the discrete level. Optimal error estimate of the semi-discrete DG method is also analyzed. The fully discrete methods are obtained by coupling with symplectic temporal discretizations. One- and two-dimensional numerical results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed methods, and optimal error estimates and linear growth of the discrete energy can be observed for all cases.

In this paper, we continue our work in [46] and propose a new type of high-order finite volume multi-resolution weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes to solve hyperbolic conservation laws on triangular meshes. Although termed “multi-resolution WENO schemes”, we only use the information defined on a hierarchy of nested central spatial stencils and do not introduce any equivalent multi-resolution representation. We construct new third-order, fourth-order, and fifth-order WENO schemes using three or four unequal-sized central spatial stencils, different from the classical WENO procedure using equal-sized biased/central spatial stencils for the spatial reconstruction. The new WENO schemes could obtain the optimal order of accuracy in smooth regions, and could degrade gradually to first-order of accuracy so as to suppress spurious oscillations near strong discontinuities. This is the first time that only a series of unequal-sized hierarchical central spatial stencils are used in designing arbitrary high-order finite volume WENO schemes on triangular meshes. The main advantages of these schemes are their compactness, robustness, and their ability to maintain good convergence property for steady-state computation. The linear weights of such WENO schemes can be any positive numbers on the condition that they sum to one. Extensive numerical results are provided to illustrate the good performance of these new finite volume WENO schemes.

In this paper, we propose, analyze, and implement a new reduced basis method (RBM) tailored for the linear (ordinary and partial) differential equations driven by arbitrary (i.e. not necessarily Gaussian) types of noise. There are four main ingredients of our algorithm. First, we propose a new space-time-like treatment of time in the numerical schemes for ODEs and PDEs. The second ingredient is an accurate yet efficient compression technique for the spatial component of the space-time snapshots that the RBM is adopting as bases. The third ingredient is a non-conventional “parameterization” of a non-parametric problem. The last is a RBM that is free of any dedicated offline procedure yet is still efficient online.

This paper proposes and analyzes arbitrarily high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) and finite volume methods which provably preserve the positivity of density and pressure for the ideal MHD on general meshes. Unified auxiliary theories are built for rigorously analyzing the positivity-preserving (PP) property of MHD schemes with a HLL type flux on polytopal meshes in any space dimension. The main challenges overcome here include establishing relation between the PP property and discrete divergence of magnetic field on general meshes, and estimating proper wave speeds in the HLL flux to ensure the PP property. In 1D case, we prove that the standard DG and finite volume methods with the proposed HLL flux are PP, under condition accessible by a PP limiter. For multidimensional conservative MHD system, standard DG methods with a PP limiter are not PP in general, due to the effect of unavoidable divergence-error. We construct provably PP high-order DG and finite volume schemes by proper discretization of symmetrizable MHD system, with two divergence-controlling techniques: locally divergence-free elements and a penalty term. The former leads to zero divergence within each cell, while the latter controls the divergence error across cell interfaces. Our analysis reveals that a coupling of them is important for positivity preservation, as they exactly contribute the discrete divergence-terms absent in standard DG schemes but crucial for ensuring the PP property. Numerical tests confirm the PP property and the effectiveness of proposed PP schemes. Unlike conservative MHD system, the exact smooth solutions of symmetrizable MHD system are proved to retain the positivity even if the divergence-free condition is not satisfied. Our analysis and findings further the understanding, at both discrete and continuous levels, of the relation between the PP property and the divergence-free constraint., Comment: 49 pages, 11 figures

We propose an energy-conserving ultra-weak discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for the generalized Korteweg-De Vries(KdV) equation in one dimension. Optimal a priori error estimate of order $k + 1$ is obtained for the semi-discrete scheme for the KdV equation without convection term on general nonuniform meshes when polynomials of degree $k\ge 2$ is used. We also numerically observed optimal convergence of the method for the KdV equation with linear or nonlinear convection terms. It is numerically observed for the new method to have a superior performance for long-time simulations over existing DG methods., Comment: 12 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1804.10307

This paper is devoted to the construction and analysis of new nonlinear optimal weights for weighted ENO (WENO) interpolation capable of raising the order of accuracy close to discontinuities. The new nonlinear optimal weights are constructed using a strategy inspired by the original WENO algorithm, and they work very well for corner or jump singularities, leading to optimal theoretical accuracy. This is the first part of a series of two papers. In this first part we analyze the performance of the new algorithms proposed for univariate function approximation in the point values (interpolation problem). In the second part, we will extend the analysis to univariate function approximation in the cell averages (reconstruction problem). Our aim is twofold: to raise the order of accuracy of the WENO type interpolation schemes both near discontinuities and in the interval which contains the singularity. The first problem can be solved using the new nonlinear optimal weights, but the second one requires a new strategy that locates the position of the singularity inside the cell in order to attain adaption. This new strategy is inspired by the ENO-SR schemes proposed by Harten [J. Comput. Phys., 83 (1989), pp. 148--184]. Thus, we will introduce two different algorithms in the point values. The first one can deal with corner singularities and jump discontinuities for intervals not containing the singularity. The second algorithm can also deal with intervals containing corner singularities, as they can be detected from the point values, but jump discontinuities cannot, as the information of their position is lost during the discretization process. As mentioned before, the second part of this work will be devoted to the cell averages and, in this context, it will be possible to work with jump discontinuities as well.

In this paper, we discuss the stability and error estimates of the fully discrete schemes for linear conservation laws, which consists of an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian discontinuous Galerkin method in space and explicit total variation diminishing Runge–Kutta (TVD-RK) methods up to third order accuracy in time. The scaling arguments and the standard energy analysis are the key techniques used in our work. We present a rigorous proof to obtain stability for the three fully discrete schemes under suitable CFL conditions. With the help of the reference cell, the error equations are easy to establish and we derive the quasi-optimal error estimates in space and optimal convergence rates in time. For the Euler-forward scheme with piecewise constant elements, the second order TVD-RK method with piecewise linear elements and the third order TVD-RK scheme with polynomials of any order, the usual CFL condition is required, while for other cases, stronger time step restrictions are needed for the results to hold true. More precisely, the Euler-forward scheme needs τ ≤ ρh2 and the second order TVD-RK scheme needs $ \tau \le \rho {h}^{\frac{4}{3}}$ for higher order polynomials in space, where τ and h are the time and maximum space step, respectively, and ρ is a positive constant independent of τ and h.

Motivated by studies on fully discrete numerical schemes for linear hyperbolic conservation laws, we present a framework on analyzing the strong stability of explicit Runge-Kutta (RK) time discretizations for semi-negative autonomous linear systems. The analysis is based on the energy method and can be performed with the aid of a computer. Strong stability of various RK methods, including a sixteen-stage embedded pair of order nine and eight, has been examined under this framework. Based on numerous numerical observations, we further characterize the features of strongly stable schemes. A both necessary and sufficient condition is given for the strong stability of RK methods of odd linear order.

In this paper, a new type of high-order finite difference and finite volume multi-resolution weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes is presented for solving hyperbolic conservation laws. We only use the information defined on a hierarchy of nested central spatial stencils and do not introduce any equivalent multi-resolution representation. These new WENO schemes use the same large stencils as the classical WENO schemes in [25] , [45] , could obtain the optimal order of accuracy in smooth regions, and could simultaneously suppress spurious oscillations near discontinuities. The linear weights of such WENO schemes can be any positive numbers on the condition that their sum equals one. This is the first time that a series of unequal-sized hierarchical central spatial stencils are used in designing high-order finite difference and finite volume WENO schemes. These new WENO schemes are simple to construct and can be easily implemented to arbitrary high order of accuracy and in higher dimensions. Benchmark examples are given to demonstrate the robustness and good performance of these new WENO schemes.

In this paper, we extend our previous work in Huang and Shu (J Sci Comput, 2018. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10915-018-0852-1 ) and develop a third-order unconditionally positivity-preserving modified Patankar Runge–Kutta method for production–destruction equations. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the method to be of third-order accuracy are derived. With the same approach as Huang and Shu (2018), this time integration method is then generalized to solve a class of ODEs arising from semi-discrete schemes for PDEs and coupled with the positivity-preserving finite difference weighted essentially non-oscillatory schemes for non-equilibrium flows. Numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the performance of our proposed scheme.

In this follow-up work, we extend the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods previously developed on rectangular meshes (Li et al., 2017) to triangular meshes. The DG schemes in Li et al. (2017) are both optimally convergent and energy conserving. However, as we shall see in the numerical results section, the DG schemes on triangular meshes only have suboptimal convergence rate. We prove the energy conservation and an error estimate for the semi-discrete schemes. The stability of the fully discrete scheme is proved and its error estimate is stated. We present extensive numerical results with convergence consistent of our error estimate, and simulations of wave propagation in Drude metamaterials to demonstrate the flexibility of triangular meshes.

To avoid the order reduction when third order implicit–explicit Runge–Kutta time discretization is used together with the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) spatial discretization, for solving convection–diffusion problems with time-dependent Dirichlet boundary conditions, we propose a strategy of boundary treatment at each intermediate stage in this paper. The proposed strategy can achieve optimal order of accuracy by numerical verification. Also by suitably setting numerical flux on the boundary in the LDG methods, and by establishing an important relationship between the gradient and interface jump of the numerical solution with the independent numerical solution of the gradient and the given boundary conditions, we build up the unconditional stability of the corresponding scheme, in the sense that the time step is only required to be upper bounded by a suitable positive constant, which is independent of the mesh size.

In this paper, we construct a family of modified Patankar Runge–Kutta methods, which is conservative and unconditionally positivity-preserving, for production–destruction equations, and derive necessary and sufficient conditions to obtain second-order accuracy. This ordinary differential equation solver is then extended to solve a class of semi-discrete schemes for PDEs. Combining this time integration method with the positivity-preserving finite difference weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes, we successfully obtain a positivity-preserving WENO scheme for non-equilibrium flows. Various numerical tests are reported to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methods.

In this paper, we shall establish the superconvergence property of the Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method for solving a linear constant-coefficient hyperbolic equation. The RKDG method is made of the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) scheme with upwind-biased numerical fluxes coupled with the explicit Runge–Kutta algorithm of arbitrary orders and stages. Superconvergence results for the numerical flux, cell averages as well as the solution and derivative at some special points are shown, which are based on a systematical study of the $$\hbox {L}^2$$ -norm stability for the RKDG method and the incomplete correction techniques for the well-defined reference functions at each time stage. The result demonstrates that the superconvergence property of the semi-discrete DG method is preserved, and the optimal order in time is provided under the smoothness assumption that is independent of the number of stages. As a byproduct of the above superconvergence study, the expected order of the post-processed solution is obtained when a special initial solution is used. Some numerical experiments are also given.

In this paper, we develop a new discontinuous Galerkin method for solving several types of partial differential equations (PDEs) with high order spatial derivatives. We combine the advantages of local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method and ultra-weak discontinuous Galerkin (UWDG) method. Firstly, we rewrite the PDEs with high order spatial derivatives into a lower order system, then apply the UWDG method to the system. We first consider the fourth order and fifth order nonlinear PDEs in one space dimension, and then extend our method to general high order problems and two space dimensions. The main advantage of our method over the LDG method is that we have introduced fewer auxiliary variables, thereby reducing memory and computational costs. The main advantage of our method over the UWDG method is that no internal penalty terms are necessary in order to ensure stability for both even and odd order PDEs. We prove stability of our method in the general nonlinear case and provide optimal error estimates for linear PDEs for the solution itself as well as for the auxiliary variables approximating its derivatives. A key ingredient in the proof of the error estimates is the construction of the relationship between the derivative and the element interface jump of the numerical solution and the auxiliary variable solution of the solution derivative. With this relationship, we can then use the discrete Sobolev and Poincar\'{e} inequalities to obtain the optimal error estimates. The theoretical findings are confirmed by numerical experiments., Comment: 39 pages
