Abstract

Abstract: This paper provides a study on the stability and time-step constraints of solving the linearized Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, using implicit-explicit (IMEX) Runge-Kutta (RK) time integration methods combined with either finite difference (FD) or local discontinuous Galerkin (DG) spatial discretization. We analyze the stability of the fully discrete scheme, on a uniform mesh with periodic boundary conditions, using the Fourier method. For the linearized KdV equation, the IMEX schemes are stable under the standard Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) condition \(\tau \leqslant \hat{\lambda } h\). Here, \(\hat{\lambda }\) is the CFL number, \(\tau\) is the time-step size, and h is the spatial mesh size. We study several IMEX schemes and characterize their CFL number as a function of \(\theta =d/h^2\) with d being the dispersion coefficient, which leads to several interesting observations. We also investigate the asymptotic behaviors of the CFL number for sufficiently refined meshes and derive the necessary conditions for the asymptotic stability of the IMEX-RK methods. Some numerical experiments are provided in the paper to illustrate the performance of IMEX methods under different time-step constraints.
