We analyze the convergence of a discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM) with plane waves and Lagrange multipliers that was recently proposed by Farhat, Harari, and Hetmaniuk [Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg., 192 (2003), pp. 1389-1419] for solving two-dimensional Helmholtz problems at relatively high wavenumbers. We prove that the underlying hybrid variational formulation is well-posed. We also present various a priori error estimates that establish the convergence and order of accuracy of the…
