abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">In this paper, we study the convergence and superconvergence properties of the discontinuous
Galerkin (DG) method for a linear convection-diffusion problem in one-dimensional
setting. We prove that the DG solution and its derivative exhibit optimal $\mathcal{O}(h^{p+1})$ and $\mathcal{O}(h^p)$ convergence rates in the $L^2$-norm, respectively, when $p$-degree piecewise polynomials with $p\geqslant 1$ are used. We further prove that the $p$-degree DG solution and its derivative are $\mathcal{O}(h^{2p})$ superconvergent
at the downwind and upwind points, respectively. Numerical experiments demonstrate
that the theoretical rates are optimal and that the DG method does not produce any oscillation.
We observed optimal rates of convergence and superconvergence even in the presence of boundary
layers when Shishkin meshes are used.</p>},
