In this paper, we are interested in the numerical approximation of the classical time-dependent drift-diffusion system near quasi-neutrality. We consider a fully implicit in time and finite volume in space scheme, where the convection-diffusion fluxes are approximated by ScharfetterGummel fluxes. We establish that all the a priori estimates needed to prove the convergence of the scheme does not...

We consider a simple advection equation in space dimension one and the linearized shallow water equations in space dimension two and describe and implement two different multilevel finite volume discretizations in the context of the utilization of the incremental methods with time explicit or semi-explicit schemes.

There are three main observations which make up the proof. The first observation, discussed in Section 2, is that convex co-compact subgroups of a fundamental group of a hyperbolic 3-manifold N persist in the approximates given by hyperbolic Dehn surgery. This result is stated formally as Proposition 2.1. The second observation, discussed in Section 4, is that a collection of distinct hyperboli...
