Optimality of the Lax-Wendroff condition

The Near - Stability of the Lax - Wendroff Method

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...

Existence of Discrete Shock Profiles for the Lax-wendroff Scheme

Positivity-Preserving Discontinuous Galerkin Methods with Lax-Wendroff Time Discretizations

This work introduces a single-stage, single-step method for the compressible Euler equations that is provably positivitypreserving and can be applied on both Cartesian and unstructured meshes. This method is the first case of a singlestage, single-step method that is simultaneously high-order, positivity-preserving, and operates on unstructured meshes. Time-stepping is accomplished via the Lax-...

A Lax-Wendroff type theorem for unstructured quasi-uniform grids

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...

Approximate Lax-Wendroff discontinuous Galerkin methods for hyperbolic conservation laws

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 ...
