✦ Synopsis

We develop a posteriori finite element discretization error estimates for the wave equation. In one dimension, we show that the significant part of the spatial finite element error is proportional to a Lobatto polynomial and an error estimate is obtained by solving a set of either local elliptic or hyperbolic problems. In two dimensions, we show that the dichotomy principle of Babu s ska and Yu holds. For even-degree approximations error estimates are computed by solving a set of local elliptic or hyperbolic problems and for odd-degree approximations an error estimate is computed using jumps of solution gradients across element boundaries. This study also extends known superconvergence results for elliptic and parabolic problems [Superconvergence in Galerkin Finite Element Methods, Springer Verlag, New York, 1995] to second-order hyperbolic problems.

We analyze the discontinuous finite element errors associated with p-degree solutions for two-dimensional first-order hyperbolic problems. We show that the error on each element can be split into a dominant and less dominant component and that the leading part is Oðh pþ1 Þ and is spanned by two (p þ

We analyze the spatial discretization errors associated with solutions of one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws by discontinuous Galerkin methods (DGMs) in space. We show that the leading term of the spatial discretization error with piecewise polynomial approximations of degree p is proporti

## Abstract In this work we propose and analyze a fully discrete modified Crank–Nicolson finite element (CNFE) method with quadrature for solving semilinear second‐order hyperbolic initial‐boundary value problems. We prove optimal‐order convergence in both time and space for the quadrature‐modified
