Abstract

We present the convergence analysis of locally divergence-free discontinuous Galerkin methods for the induction equations which appear in the ideal magnetohydrodynamic system. When we use a second order Runge Kutta time discretization, under the CFL condition Δ t ∼ h 4 / 3 , we obtain error estimates in L 2 of order 𝒪 ( Δ t 2 + h m + 1 / 2 ) where m is the degree of the local polynomials.
