In discussing finite difference methods for the solution of hyperbolic par t ia l differential equations, STETrER [1] used est imates on some absolutely convergent Fourier series to prove stabi l i ty and instabi l i ty with respect to uniform convergence. I f / , a complex valued function on the circle, has an absolutely convergent Fourier series, then the n-th power of ] also has an absolutel...

A well-known theorem of Lax and Wendroff states that if the sequence of approximate solutions to a system of hyperbolic conservation laws generated by a conservative consistent numerical scheme converges boundedly a.e. as the mesh parameter goes to zero, then the limit is a weak solution of the system. Moreover, if the scheme satisfies a discrete entropy inequality as well, the limit is an entr...

The Lax-Wendro↵ time discretization is an alternative method to the popular total variation diminishing Runge-Kutta time discretization of discontinuous Galerkin schemes for the numerical solution of hyperbolic conservation laws. The resulting fully discrete schemes are known as LWDG and RKDG methods, respectively. Although LWDG methods are in general more compact and e cient than RKDG methods ...

In this paper, we present an intensive investigation of the finite volume method (FVM) compared to difference methods (FDMs). order show main in way approaching solution, take Burgers equation and Buckley–Leverett as examples simulate previously mentioned methods. On one hand, results using schemes Lax–Friedrichs Lax–Wendroff. other apply Godunov’s scheme method. Moreover, how starting with a v...
