Unconditional stability and optimal error estimates of a Crank-Nicolson Legendre-Galerkin method for the two-dimensional second-order wave equation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper presents a fully discrete scheme by discretizing the space with the Legendre-Galerkin method and the time with the Crank-Nicolson method to solve the two-dimensional second-order wave equation. Unconditional stability and optimal error estimates in both L2 and H1 norms of the fully discrete Crank-Nicolson Galerkin method are obtained. Numerical results confirm exponential convergence of the proposed method in space and second-order convergence in time. Also, the numerical experiments show the discrete energy conservation and efficiency of long-time numerical calculation.
