The term shown in the graph is from a fairly simple equation. It arises from the need of using the Local Discontinuous Galerkin method for a second order derivative in one of the hyperbolic equations. The equation being solved is:
grad a - q = 0
where a is the variable that is equal to 1 everywhere and q is to be solved for. I try and do a strong form and end up with:

\int_cell  phi * q  =  \int_cell phi * grad a + \int_face phi*( {{a}} - a_interior ) * normal

where {{a}} is the average of the values of a on the faces.

This though leads to the horribly broken solution of q that has positive and negative values and jumps when it should be smooth. Is the answer to use a limiter or filter at this point? I am new to discontinuous galerkin but I haven't seen a filter or limiter being used in local discontinuous galerkin before.

I'm not an expert on DG either, so don't know how to help. But let me ask you where the the face integral comes from? You're not integrating by parts anywhere, after all.
