  • Abstract

This paper develops a posteriori error bound for a space-time finite element method for the linear wave equation. The standard $P_l$ conforming element is used for the spatial discretization and a $P_2$-CDG method is applied for the time discretization. The essential ingredients in the a posteriori error analysis are the twice time reconstruction functions and the $C^1(J)$-smooth elliptic reconstruction, which lead to reliable a posteriori error bound in view of the energy method. As an outcome, a time adaptive algorithm is proposed with the error equidistribution strategy. Numerical experiments are reported to illustrate the performance of the a posteriori error bound and the validity of the adaptive algorithm.
