Abstract

In this paper, we develop the Hamiltonian conservative and $L^2$ conservative local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) schemes for the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) type equations with the minimal stencil. For the time discretization, we adopt the semi-implicit spectral deferred correction (SDC) method to achieve the high order accuracy and efficiency. Also we compare the schemes with the dissipative LDG scheme. Stability of the fully discrete schemes is provided by Fourier analysis for the linearized KdV equation. Numerical examples are shown to illustrate the capability of these schemes. Compared with the dissipative LDG scheme, the numerical simulations also indicate that the conservative LDG scheme with high order time discretization can reduce the long time phase error validly.
