Abstract

The h-p version of the continuous Petrov-Galerkin time stepping method is analyzed for nonlinear initial value problems. An L∞-error bound explicit with respect to the local discretization and regularity parameters is derived. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.
