Some Remarks on the Lax-Wendroff Finite-Difference Scheme for Nonsymmetric Hyperbolic Systems

A posteriori error estimation for the Lax-Wendroff finite difference scheme

In many application domains, the preferred approaches to the numerical solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations such as conservation laws are formulated as finite difference schemes. While finite difference schemes are amenable to physical interpretation, one disadvantage of finite difference formulations is that it is relatively difficult to derive the so-called goal oriented a po...

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 ...

Existence of Discrete Shock Profiles for the Lax-wendroff Scheme

An alternative formulation of finite difference WENO schemes with Lax-Wendroff time discretization for conservation laws

We develop an alternative formulation of conservative finite difference weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes to solve conservation laws. In this formulation, the WENO interpolation of the solution and its derivatives are used to directly construct the numerical flux, instead of the usual practice of reconstructing the flux functions. Even though this formulation is more expensive...

On the Stability of Friedrichs' Scheme and the Modified Lax-Wendroff Scheme*

Necessary and sufficient stability criteria for Friedrichs' scheme and the modified Lax-Wendroff scheme with smooth coefficients are derived by means of Kreiss' Matrix Theorem and the first Stability Theorem of Lax and Nirenberg. In this note we derive necessary and sufficient stability criteria for Friedrichs' scheme and the modified Lax-Wendroff scheme [8] for the hyperbolic system n (1) ". =...
