Abstract

In this paper, we develop a Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for solving H(curl)-elliptic hemivariational inequalities. By selecting an appropriate numerical flux, we construct an Interior Penalty Discontinuous Galerkin (IPDG) scheme. A comprehensive numerical analysis of the IPDG method is conducted, addressing key aspects such as consistency, boundedness, and stability of the discrete formulation, as well as the existence, uniqueness, and uniform boundedness of the numerical solutions. Building on these properties, we establish a priori error estimates, demonstrating the optimal convergence order of the numerical solutions under suitable solution regularity assumptions. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the theoretically predicted convergence order and to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
