contents So called cartesian cut cell meshes provide efficient ways to generate meshes but do require tailored numerical methods to not suffer from stabilization issues, especially in the hyperbolic regime where the application of explicit time stepping schemes is common. In this scenario, due to potentially arbitrarily small cut cells, an infeasible restriction is imposed on the time step size. The Domain of Dependence (DoD) stabilization allows for a time step size based on the underlying Cartesian mesh. Being an extension of a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method, one would expect similar accuracy properties as in the pure DG case. While numerical results do support this expectation, on the analytical level this has only been investigated thoroughly for $k=0$. Error analysis typically hinges on a consistency result. In this contribution we prove such a result for the DoD stabilization given an arbitrary polynomial degree and an exact solution of sufficient regularity. This in turn could open the way towards a more refined analysis of the method even in the high-order case.
