Hi,

You may also refer Zienkiewicz's book. It deals with temporal domain discretisation using FEM.

For a textbook introduction, try Claes Johnson's book "Numerical Solutions of Partial Differential Equations by the Finite Element Method".

space-time finite elements

The space-time finite element formulation is what you're looking for. There are plenty of papers on this approach.

if you use discontinuous galerkin method, you obtain a scheme that is higher order RK method. It is doable but have no practical value.

Finite Element Discretization in Time Direction

Jayadeep U. B. — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 00:07:20 -0400

In the finite element analysis of a transient problem, the usual procedure is to discretize the space (domain) using finite elements, while in the time direction, a time-stepping scheme based on finite differences is used. Is it possible to use a finite element type discretization in time also? Is there any work done in this manner?
