چکیده

We show that a simple relaxation scheme of the type proposed by Jin and Xin Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 48(1995) pp. 235{276] can be reinterpreted as deening a particular approximate Riemann solver for the original system of m conservation laws. Based on this observation, a more general class of approximate Riemann solvers is proposed which allows as many as 2m waves in the resulting solution. These solvers are related to more general relaxation systems and connections with several other standard solvers are explored. The added exibility of 2m waves may be advantageous in deriving new methods. Some potential applications are explored for problems with discontinuous ux functions or source terms.

A class of residual distribution schemes and their relation to relaxation systems

Residual distributions (RD) schemes are a class of of high-resolution finite volume methods for unstructured grids. A key feature of these schemes is that they make use of genuinely multidimensional (approximate) Riemann solvers as opposed to the piecemeal 1D Riemann solvers usually employed by finite volume methods. In 1D, LeVeque and Pelanti [J. Comp. Phys. 172, 572 (2001)] showed that many o...

Fast Relaxation Solvers for Hyperbolic-Elliptic Phase Transition Problems

Phase transition problems in compressible media can be modelled by mixed hyperbolicelliptic systems of conservation laws. Within this approach phase boundaries are understood as shock waves that satisfy additional constraints, sometimes called kinetic relations. In recent years several tracking-type algorithms have been suggested for numerical approximation. Typically a core piece of these algo...

Semi-discrete Entropy Satisfying Approximate Riemann Solvers. The Case of the Suliciu Relaxation Approximation

In this work we establish conditions for an approximate simple Riemann solver to satisfy a semi-discrete entropy inequality. The semi-discrete approach is less restrictive than the fully-discrete case and allows to grant some other good properties for numerical schemes. First, conditions are established in an abstract framework for simple Riemann solvers to satisfy a semi-discrete entropy inequ...

Selected Topics in Approximate Solutions of Nonlinear Conservation Laws. High-resolution Central Schemes

Central schemes offer a simple and versatile approach for computing approximate solutions of non-linear systems of hyperbolic conservation laws and related PDEs. The solution of such problems often involves the spontaneous evolution of steep gradients. The multiscale aspect of these gradients poses a main computational challenge for their numerical solution. Central schemes utilize a minimal am...

New operational matrix for solving a class of optimal control problems with Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative

In this paper, we apply spectral method based on the Bernstein polynomials for solving a class of optimal control problems with Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. In the first step, we introduce the dual basis and operational matrix of product based on the Bernstein basis. Then, we get the Bernstein operational matrix for the Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville fractio...
