Abstract In this article, we establish a new mixed finite element procedure, in which the mixed element system is symmetric positive definite, to solve the second‐order hyperbolic equations. The convergence of the mixed element methods with continuous‐ and discrete‐time scheme is proved. And the corresponding error estimates are given. Finally some numerical results are presented. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2009
