We present a special variant of the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for time-dependent partial differential equations with certain variational structures and associated conservation or dissipation properties. The method provides a way to construct fully-discrete LDG schemes that retain discrete counterparts of the conservation or dissipation properties. Numerical results confirm the accuracy and effectiveness of the method.

Keywords: conservative, structure-preserving, Discontinuous Galerkin method, dissipative., variational structure.
