hp-Version Discontinuous Galerkin Methods on Polygonal and Polyhedral Meshes

“This book should be very useful to Ph.D students and researchers who are eager to explore and understand the mathematical analysis of DGFEMs on polytopic meshes for second-order elliptic equations. The presentation is lucid and the book provides an extensive list of references in the area.” (Neela Nataraj, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2018)
