Abstract

In this work we propose and analyze a fully discrete modified Crank-Nicolson finite element (CNFE) method with quadrature for solving semilinear second-order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problems. We prove optimal-order convergence in both time and space for the quadrature-modified CNFE scheme that does not require nonlinear algebraic solvers. Finally, we demonstrate numerically the order of convergence of our scheme for some test problems.
