High-order Taylor-Galerkin methods for linear hyperbolic systems (Q1902374)

A new family of stable high-order Taylor-Galerkin (TG) methods for the numerical solution of first-order hyperbolic systems is presented. A multistage process can be used that produces schemes of order \(2s\) for \(s\)-stages, each of which involves the solution of a second-order system of elliptic equations. The schemes are unconditionally stable which makes them very attractive to use \(hp\)-finite element methods for spatial approximation. With a proper choice of parameters, TG methods can be unconditionally stable for certain classes of problems.
