contents In this paper, we present a novel class of high-order Runge--Kutta (RK) discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws. The new method extends beyond the traditional method of lines framework and utilizes stage-dependent polynomial spaces for the spatial discretization operators. To be more specific, two different DG operators, associated with $\mathcal{P}^k$ and $\mathcal{P}^{k-1}$ piecewise polynomial spaces, are used at different RK stages. The resulting method is referred to as the sdRKDG method. It features fewer floating-point operations and may achieve larger time step sizes. For problems without sonic points, we observe optimal convergence for all the sdRKDG schemes; and for problems with sonic points, we observe that a subset of the sdRKDG schemes remains optimal. We have also conducted von Neumann analysis for the stability and error of the sdRKDG schemes for the linear advection equation in one dimension. Numerical tests, for problems including two-dimensional Euler equations for gas dynamics, are provided to demonstrate the performance of the new method.
