Inf–Sup Stable Space–Time Discretization of the Wave Equation Based on a First-Order-In-Time Variational Formulation
摘要
In this paper, we present a conforming space–time discretization of the wave equation based on a first-order-in-time variational formulation. Our method extends the scheme of French and Peterson (1996), incorporating exponential weights in time, which yield an inf–sup stability condition for arbitrary choices of discrete subspaces, including spline spaces, without restrictions on the mesh size or time step. Moreover, using elliptic projections, we derive optimal convergence rates in both the energy and
