In this paper, a new variational formulation based on discontinuous Galerkin technique for a reaction-diffusion problem is introduced, and the discontinuous Galerkin technique of this work is different from the general discontinuous Galerkin methods. The well posedness of the new formulation is given. Finally, it is pointed that the new variational formulation will be helpful to design better hybrid numerical methods which will not only strongly stable in spatial variable and absolutely stable in temporal variable but also be optimally convergent.

In this paper, a new stabilized discontinuous Galerkin method within a new function space setting is introduced, which involves an extra stabilization term on the normal fluxes across the element interfaces. It is different from the general DG methods. The formulation satisfies a local conservation property and we prove well posedness of the new formulation by Inf-Sup condition. A priori error estimates are derived, which are verified by a 2D experiment on a reaction-diffusion type model problem.
