contents Cut meshes are a type of mesh that is formed by allowing embedded boundaries to "cut" a simple underlying mesh resulting in a hybrid mesh of cut and standard elements. While cut meshes can allow complex boundaries to be represented well regardless of the mesh resolution, their arbitrarily shaped and sized cut elements can present issues such as the small cell problem, where small cut elements can result in a severely restricted CFL condition. State redistribution, a technique developed by Berger and Giuliani [1], can be used to address the small cell problem. In this work, we pair state redistribution with a high-order discontinuous Galerkin scheme that is $L_2$ energy stable for arbitrary quadrature. We prove that state redistribution can be added to a provably $L_2$ energy stable discontinuous Galerkin method on a cut mesh without damaging the scheme's $L_2$ stability. We numerically verify the high order accuracy and stability of our scheme on two-dimensional wave propagation problems.
