Abstract

In this paper we will present the stability in L2-norm and the optimal a priori error estimate for the Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method to solve linear conservation law with inflow boundary condition. Semi-discrete version and fully-discrete version of this method are considered respectively, where time is advanced by the explicit third order total variation diminishing Runge-Kutta algorithm. To avoid the reduction of accuracy, two correction techniques are given for the intermediate boundary condition. Numerical experiments are also given to verify the above results.
