Discontinuous Galerkin methods for nonlinear scalar hyperbolic conservation laws: divided difference estimates and accuracy enhancement

In this paper, an analysis of the accuracy-enhancement for the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method applied to one-dimensional scalar nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws is carried out. This requires analyzing the divided difference of the errors for the DG solution. We therefore first prove that the [Formula: see text]-th order [Formula: see text] divided difference of the DG error in the [Fo...

A Nonlinear Flux Split Method for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

Error Estimates of Approximate Solutions for Nonlinear Scalar Conservation Laws

There has been an enormous amount of work on error estimates for approximate solutions to scalar conservation laws. The methods of analysis include matching the traveling wave solutions, [8, 24]; matching the Green function of the linearized problem [21]; weak W convergence theory [32]; the Kruzkov-functional method [19]; and the energy-like method [34]. The results on error estimates include: ...

Numerical solution of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws using exponential splines

Previous theoretical (McCartin 1989a) and computational (McCartin 1989b) results on exponential splines are herein applied to provide approximate solutions of high order accuracy to nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The automatic selection of certain "tension" parameters associated with the exponential spline allows the sharp resolution of shocks and the suppression of any attendant oscil...

Genuinely Nonlinear Hyperbolic Systems of Two Conservation Laws

This is an expository paper discussing the regularity and large time behavior of admissible BV solutions of genuinely nonlinear, strictly hyperbolic systems of two conservation laws. The approach will be via the theory of generalized characteristics.
