Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the spatial and spectral superconvergence properties of one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation law by a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. The analyses combine classical mathematical arguments with MATLAB experiments. Some properties of the DG schemes are discovered using discrete Fourier analyses: superconvergence of the numerical wave numbers, Radau structure of the X spatial error.
