Hello

I am interested in implementing the LDG method in “A local discontinuous 
Galerkin method for directly solving Hamilton–Jacobi equations” 
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021999110005255. The 
equation is more or less of the form (for 1D case):
                p1 = f(u_x)
                p2 = g(u_x)
                u_t  = H(p1, p2)

where typically one solves for p1 and p2 using the previous time step solution 
“u” and then plugs them into the third equation to obtain the next step 
solution. I am wondering if the TS infrastructure could be used to implement 
this solution scheme. Looking at the manual, I think one could set G(t, U) to 
the right-hand side in the above equations and F(t, u, u’) = 0 to the left-hand 
side, although the first two equations would not have time derivative. In that 
case, how could one take advantage of the operator split scheme I mentioned? 
Maybe using some block preconditioners?

I am trying to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi equation u_t – H(u_x) = 0. I welcome 
any suggestion for better methods.

Thanks
Miguel
