In this paper we consider the fully discrete local discontinuous Galerkin method, where the third order explicit Runge-Kutta time marching is coupled. For the one-dimensional time-dependent singularly perturbed problem with a boundary layer, we shall prove that the resulted scheme is not only of good behavior at the local stability, but also has the double-optimal local error estimate. It is to say, the convergence rate is optimal in both space and time, and the width of the cut-off subdomain is also nearly optimal, if the boundary condition at each intermediate stage is given in a proper way. Numerical experiments are also given.
