Yes. In IEDG, functions are continuous on the union of interior faces and
discontinuous on the union of boundary faces. Here is a reference on IEDG
methods

10.1016/j.jcp.2015.09.024 <http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jcp.2015.09.024>

That is a nice idea and it will achieve what I want. I have to completely
eliminate the constrained dofs so that the global matrix size is reduced,
which is the main reason for using EDG/IEDG instead of HDG.

Thanks
