Abstract
Motivated by the problem of developing accurate and stable time-stepping methods for the single-layer potential equation for acoustic scattering from a surface, we present new convergence results for piecewise polynomial discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approximations of a first-kind Volterra integral equation of convolution kernel type, where the kernel K is smooth and satisfies K(0) ≠ 0. We show that an mth degree DG approximation exhibits global convergence of order m when m is odd and order m + 1 when m is even. There is local superconvergence of one order higher (i.e. order m + 1 when m is odd and m + 2 when m is even), but in the even order case, there is superconvergence only if the exact solution u of the equation satisfies u(m + 1)(0) = 0. We also present numerical test results which show that these theoretical convergence rates are optimal.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
