Stability and space/time convergence of Störmer-Verlet time integration of the mixed formulation of linear wave equations

Abstract

This work focuses on the mixed formulation of linear wave equations. It provides a proof of stability and convergence of time discretisation of a semi discrete linear wave equation in mixed form with Störmer-Verlet time integration, that is uniform as the time step reaches its largest allowed value for stability (Courant-Friedrich-Levy condition), contrary to the proofs recalled here from the literature.
