Abstract
In this paper, we present a conforming space-time discretization of the wave equation based on a first-order-in-time variational formulation with exponential weights in time. We analyze the method, showing its stability without imposing any restrictions on the mesh size or time step, and proving quasi-optimal convergence for any choice of space-time tensor product discrete spaces that satisfies standard approximation assumptions. Numerical examples are provided to support the theoretical findings.
