Abstract: In this paper, a fully discrete stability analysis is carried out for the direct discontinuous Galerkin (DDG) methods coupled with Runge-Kutta-type implicit-explicit time marching, for solving one-dimensional linear convection-difusion problems. In the spatial discretization, both the original DDG methods and the refned DDG methods with interface corrections are considered. In the time discretization, the convection term is treated explicitly and the difusion term implicitly. By the energy method, we show that the corresponding fully discrete schemes are unconditionally stable, in the sense that the time-step τ is only required to be upper bounded by a constant which is independent of the mesh size h. Optimal error estimate is also obtained by the aid of a special global projection. Numerical experiments are given to verify the stability and accuracy of the proposed schemes.
