Title: Leapfrog Time-Stepping for Hermite Methods

Abstract

We introduce here Hermite-leapfrog methods for first order linear wave systems. The new Hermite-leapfrog methods pair leapfrog time-stepping with the Hermite methods of Goodrich and co-authors et al. (Math Comput 75(254):595–630, 2006). The new schemes stagger field variables in both time and space and are high-order accurate for equations with smooth solutions and coefficients. We provide a detailed description of the method and demonstrate that the method conserves variable quantities. Higher dimensional versions of the method are constructed via tensor products. Numerical evidence and rigorous analysis in one space dimension establish stability and high-order convergence. Experiments demonstrating efficient implementations on a graphics processing unit are also presented.
