We investigate the properties of the high-order discontinuous Galerkin spectral element method (DGSEM) with implicit backward-Euler time stepping for the approximation of hyperbolic linear scalar conservation equation in multiple space dimensions. We first prove that the DGSEM scheme in one space dimension preserves a maximum principle for the cell-averaged solution when the time step is large enough. This property however no longer holds in multiple space dimensions and we propose to use the flux-corrected transport limiting [Boris and Book, J. Comput. Phys., 11 (1973)] based on a low-order approximation using graph viscosity to impose a maximum principle on the cell-averaged solution. These results allow to use a linear scaling limiter [Zhang and Shu, J. Comput. Phys., 229 (2010)] in order to impose a maximum principle at nodal values within elements. Then, we investigate the inversion of the linear systems resulting from the time implicit discretization at each time step. We prove that the diagonal blocks are invertible and provide efficient algorithms for their inversion. Numerical experiments in one and two space dimensions are presented to illustrate the conclusions of the present analyses.
