Stabilized Galerkin methods for magnetic advection
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis , Volume 47 (2013) no. 6, pp. 1713-1732.

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.
