Abstract

In this paper a combination of discontinuous, piecewise linear, finite elements with BDF2 implicit-explicit time stepping is considered for convection-reaction equations. Combined with low order quadrature rules, this leads to convenient schemes. We shall consider the effect of such low order quadrature rules on accuracy and stability for one-dimensional problems. Furthermore, attention will be given to the stability and TVD properties of the explicit BDF2-type formula used for convection in the implicit-explicit time stepping.
