Stable and conservative time propagators for second order hyperbolic systems

In this paper we construct a hierarchy of arbitrary high (even) order accurate explicit time propagators for semi-discrete second order hyperbolic systems. An accurate semi-discrete problem is obtained by approximating the corresponding spatial derivatives using high order accurate finite difference operators satisfying the summation by parts rule. In order to obtain a strictly stable semi-disc...

Conservative high order positivity-preserving discontinuous Galerkin methods for linear hyperbolic and radiative transfer equations

We further investigate the high order positivity-preserving discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for linear hyperbolic and radiative transfer equations developed in [14]. The DG methods in [14] can maintain positivity and high order accuracy, but they rely both on the scaling limiter in [15] and a rotational limiter, the latter may alter cell averages of the unmodulated DG scheme, thereby affect...

Conservative and non-conservative methods based on Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory reconstruction for Vlasov equations

We introduce a WENO reconstruction based on Hermite interpolation both for semi-Lagrangian and finite difference methods. This WENO reconstruction technique allows to control spurious oscillations. We develop third and fifth order methods and apply them to non-conservative semi-Lagrangian schemes and conservative finite difference methods. Our numerical results will be compared to the usual sem...

Discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for second order hyperbolic problems

In this paper, we prove a priori and a posteriori error estimates for a finite element method for linear second order hyperbolic problems (linear wave equations) based on using spacetime finite element discretizations (for displacements and displacement velocities) with (bilinear) basis functions which are continuous in space and discontinuous in time. We refer to methods of this form as discon...
