Discontinuous Galerkin methods for problems with Dirac delta source (2011)
Journal Article
Houston, P., & Wihler, T. P. Discontinuous Galerkin methods for problems with Dirac delta source. Manuscript submitted for publication

In this article we study discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretizations of linear second-order elliptic partial differential equations with Dirac delta right-hand side.
