An Error Estimate for Finite Volume Methods for Multidimensional Conservation Laws
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, an L°°(Ll )-error estimate for a class of finite volume methods for the approximation of scalar multidimensional conservation laws is obtained. These methods can be formally high-order accurate and are defined on general triangulations. The error is proven to be of order ft'/4 , where h represents the "size" of the mesh, via an extension of Kuznetsov approximation theory for which no estimate of the total variation and of the modulus of continuity in time are needed. The result is new even for the finite volume method constructed from monotone numerical flux functions.

Relative Entropy for the Finite Volume Approximation of Strong Solutions to Systems of Conservation Laws
We study in this paper the finite volume approximation of strong solutions to systems of conservation laws. We derive error estimates in the multidimensional case, using the relative entropy between the strong solution and its finite volume approximation. The error terms are carefully studied, leading to a classical h1/2 estimate under a BV assumption on the numerical approximation.

In this paper, an L 1 (L 1)-error estimate for a class of nite volume methods for the approximation of scalar multidimensional conservation laws is obtained. These methods can be formally high-order accurate and are deened on general trian-gulations. The error is proven to be of order h 1=4 , where h represents the \size" of the mesh, via an extension of Kuznetsov approximation theory for which...
متن کاملError estimate for the approximation of nonlinear conservation laws on bounded domains by the finite volume method
In this paper we derive a priori and a posteriori error estimates for cell centered finite volume approximations of nonlinear conservation laws on polygonal bounded domains. Numerical experiments show the applicability of the a posteriori result for the derivation of local adaptive solution strategies.
متن کاملError estimate for the upwind finite volume method for the nonlinear scalar conservation law
In this paper we study the error estimate of the upwind first order finite volume scheme applied to scalar conservation laws. As a first step we also consider the case of a linear equation with space variable coefficients in conservation form. We prove that indeed these schemes lead to a first order error estimate. This work follows our previous paper [2] where we have introduced, in the contex...
متن کاملAdaptive Finite Element Methods for Conservation Laws Based on a Posteriori Error Estimates
We prove a posteriori error estimates for a nite element method for systems of strictly hyperbolic conservation laws in one space dimension, and design corresponding adaptive methods. The proof of the a posteriori error estimates is based on a strong stability estimate for an associated dual problem, together with the Galerkin orthogonalityof the nite element method. The strong stability estima...
