Abstract

This article introduces a simple weak Galerkin (WG) finite element method for solving convection-diffusion-reaction equation. The proposed method offers significant flexibility by supporting discontinuous approximating functions on general nonconvex polytopal meshes. We establish rigorous error estimates within a suitable norm. Finally, numerical experiments are presented to validate the theoretical convergence rates and demonstrate the computational efficiency of the approach.
