Stability and Error Estimates of a Novel Spectral Deferred Correction Time-Marching with Local Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Parabolic Equations

摘要

In this paper, we discuss the stability and error estimates of the fully discrete schemes for parabolic equations, in which local discontinuous Galerkin methods with generalized alternating numerical fluxes and a novel spectral deferred correction method based on second-order time integration methods are adopted. With the energy techniques, we obtain both the second- and fourth-order spectral deferred correction time-marching with local discontinuous Galerkin spatial discretization are unconditional stable. The optimal error estimates for the corresponding fully discrete scheme are derived by the aid of the generalized Gauss-Radau projection. We extend the analysis to problems with higher even-order derivatives. Numerical examples are displayed to verify our theoretical results.
