摘要
We develop and analyze a new strategy for the spatial discontinuous Galerkin discretization of wave equations in second-order form. The method features a direct, mesh-independent approach to defining interelement fluxes. Both energy-conserving and upwind discretizations can be devised. We derive a priori error estimates in the energy norm for certain fluxes and present numerical experiments showing that optimal convergence in L-2 is obtained.
