AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Staggered discontinuous Galerkin methods have been developed recently and are
adopted successfully to many problems such as wave propagation, elliptic equation, convection-diffusion
equation and the Maxwell&#39;s equations. For wave propagation, the method is proved
to have the desirable properties of energy conservation, optimal order of convergence and block-diagonal
mass matrices. In this paper, we perform an analysis for the dispersion error and the
CFL constant. Our results show that the staggered method provides a smaller dispersion error
compared with classical finite element method as well as non-staggered discontinuous Galerkin
methods.</p>
