Abstract

Taking the cue from stabilized Galerkin methods for scalar advection problems, we adapt the technique to boundary value problems modeling the advection of magnetic fields. We provide rigorous a priori error estimates for both fully discontinuous piecewise polynomial trial functions and -conforming finite elements.
