    The authors consider hyperbolic conservation laws, especially the 1D and 2D linear advection equation and the 1D Euler system. First they explain their way of discretization (for the Lax-Wendroff approach to reexpress the time derivatives in a Taylor expansion in time through spatial derivatives, following Qiu, Dumbser and Shu [\textit{J. Qiu} et al., Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng. 194, No. 42--44, 4528--4543 (2005; Zbl 1093.76038)]; this is also known as Cauchy-Kobalewski-type time discretization by \textit{Ju. I. Sokin} [Tr. Mat. Inst. Steklova 122, 66--84 (1973; Zbl 0292.35052)] and combining this with the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method (passing to a system of equations and discretizing it in space, taking care of the approximation of fluxes appearing in this process). Then they show that the semi-discrete LDG method for 1D nonlinear scalar conservation laws (with appropriate numerical fluxes) is \(L_2\)-stable and hint on the possibility to enhance the order of the numerical solution up to \(2k+1\) when taking \(P^k\) polynomials in space and using the postprocessing of Cockburn, Luskin, Shu an Süli [\textit{B. Cockburn} et al., Math. Comput. 72, No. 242, 577--606 (2003; Zbl 1015.65049)]. This is then illustrated by numerical experiments to hold true for their method which does not need higher-order stages like the concurrent SSP RKDG schemes (but the present authors need additional discrete unknowns due to the passing to systems of equations). The superconvergence is also backed by a Fourier analysis based on symbolic computations for \(k=1, 2\), the 1D linear advection equation, and for small Courant numbers.
