Abstract

Staggered discontinuous Galerkin methods have been developed recently and are adopted successfully to many problems such as wave propagation, elliptic equation, convection-diffusion equation and the Maxwell's equations. For wave propagation, the method is proved to have the desirable properties of energy conservation, optimal order of convergence and block-diagonal mass matrices. In this paper, we perform an analysis for the dispersion error and the CFL constant. Our results show that the staggered method provides a smaller dispersion error compared with classical finite element method as well as non-staggered discontinuous Galerkin methods.
