Abstract

Temporal error bounds for the wave equation expressed on second order form are investigated. We show that, with appropriate choices of boundary conditions, the time and space derivatives of the error are bounded even for long times. No long time bound on the error itself is obtained, although numerical experiments indicate that a bound exists.
