an implicit discontinuous galerkin scheme for solving the drug release of cardiovascular stent

This article proposes an implicit discontinuous galerkin scheme for solvingthe 2d model of drug release from cardiovascular drug-eluting stents, given the bindingof the drug that is saturated and reversible. the scheme uses discontinuous galerkindiscretization based on bubble modal basis functions in space and the backward eulerdiscretization in time. under the stability conditions, the domains of penalty parametersand time steps are determined such that the scheme remains stable. numericalresults show high performance due to the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed scheme.
