摘要

In this work, we consider a fully discrete scheme (CN-FEM) for the second-order wave equation in two and three dimensions. The linear finite element method and the Crank–Nicolson method are employed in space and time, respectively. The accuracy of CN-FEM in the \(H^1\) H 1 norm is proven to be first-order in space and second-order in time. To improve spatial accuracy, we introduce the polynomial preserving recovery (PPR) for the gradient of the numerical solution. On mildly structured triangulations, we prove a superconvergence result of the PPR for the gradient of the CN-FEM solution. The proof relies on a supercloseness estimate between the CN-FEM solution and the elliptic projection of the exact solution in the \(H^1\) H 1 norm, as well as the PPR superconvergence result for elliptic problems. Two numerical experiments are conducted to verify the theoretical results.
