A priori error estimates of Adams-Bashforth discontinuous Galerkin methods for scalar nonlinear conservation laws

Abstract

In this paper we show theoretical convergence of a second-order Adams-Bashforth discontinuous Galerkin method for approximating smooth solutions to scalar nonlinear conservation laws with E-fluxes. A priori error estimates are also derived for a first-order forward Euler discontinuous Galerkin method. Rates are optimal in time and suboptimal in space; they are valid under a CFL condition.
