Abstract

Semidiscretization in time is studied for a class of quasi-linear evolution equations in a framework due to Kato, which applies to symmetric first-order hyperbolic systems and to a variety of fluid and wave equations. In the regime where the solution is suffciently regular, we show stability and optimal-order convergence of the linearly implicit and fully implicit midpoint rules and of higher-order implicit Runge{Kutta methods that are algebraically stable and coercive, such as the collocation methods at Gauss nodes.
