Abstract

We provide an error analysis of two methods for time stepping the wave equation. These are based on the Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method to discretize in space, and the continuous Galerkin method to discretize in time. Two variants of HDG are proposed: a dissipative method based on the standard numerical flux used for elliptic problems, and a non-dissipative method based on a new choice of the flux involving time derivatives. The analysis of the fully discrete problem is based on simplified arguments using projections rather than explicit interpolants used in previous work. Some numerical results are shown that illuminate the theory.
