Abstract

top
In this paper we study the temporal convergence of a locally implicit discontinuous Galerkin method for the time-domain Maxwell’s equations modeling electromagnetic waves propagation. Particularly, we wonder whether the method retains its second-order ordinary differential equation (ODE) convergence under stable simultaneous space-time grid refinement towards the true partial differential equation (PDE) solution. This is not a priori clear due to the component splitting which can introduce order reduction
