Abstract: This paper discusses the k-degree averaging discontinuous finite element solution for the initial value problem of ordinary differential equations. When k is even, the averaging numerical flux (the average of left and right limits for the discontinuous finite element at nodes) has the optimal-order ultraconvergence 2k + 2. For nonlinear Hamiltonian systems (e.g., Schr¨odinger equation and Kepler system) with momentum conservation, the discontinuous finite element methods preserve momentum at nodes. These properties are confirmed by numerical experiments.
