Abstract

In this article, we use streamline diffusion method for the linear second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem. More specifically, we prove a posteriori error estimates for this method for the linear wave equation. We observe that this error estimates make finite element method increasingly powerful rather than other methods.
