A note on devising HDG+ projections on polyhedral elements
In this note, we propose a simple way of constructing HDG+ projections on polyhedral elements. The projections enable us to analyze the Lehrenfeld-Schöberl HDG (HDG+) methods in a very concise manner, and make many existing analysis techniques of standard HDG methods reusable for HDG+. The novelty here is an alternative way of constructing the projections without using M-decomposition as a middle step. This extends our previous results [S. Du and F.-J. Sayas, SpringerBriefs in Mathematics (2019)] (elliptic problems) and [S. Du and F.-J. Sayas, arXiv:1903.11766] (elasticity) to polyhedral meshes.
