Supercloseness of the NIPG method for a singularly perturbed convection diffusion problem on Shishkin mesh in 2D

As a popular stabilization technique, the nonsymmetric interior penalty Galerkin (NIPG) method has significant application value in computational fluid dynamics. In this paper, we study the NIPG method for a typical two-dimensional singularly perturbed convection diffusion problem on a Shishkin mesh. According to the characteristics of the solution, the mesh and numerical scheme, a new composite interpolant is introduced. In fact, this interpolant is composed of a vertices-edges-element interpolant within the layer and a local L2-projection outside the layer. On the basis of that, by selecting penalty parameters on different types of interelement edges, we further obtain supercloseness of almost k+12 order in an energy norm. Here k is the degree of piecewise polynomials. Numerical tests support our theoretical conclusion.
