The nonlinear stability in the //-norm, p > 1 , of stationary weak discrete shocks for the Lax-Friedrichs scheme approximating general m x m systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws is proved, provided that the summations of the initial perturbations equal zero. The result is proved by using both a weighted estimate and characteristic energy method based on the internal structures of t...

Problems of existence of the singular spectrum on the continuous spectrum emerges in some mathematical aspects of quantum scattering theory and quantum solid physics. In the latter field, this phenomenon results from physical effects such as the Anderson transitions in dielectrics. In the study of this problem, selfadjoint Friedrichs model operators play an important part and constitute quite a...

Explicit naming of the domain of an unbounded operator is often suppressed, instead writing T1 ⊂ T2 when T2 is an extension of T1, in the sense that the domain of T2 contains that of T1, and the restriction of T2 to the domain of T1 agrees with T1. An operator T ′, D′ is a sub-adjoint to an operator T,D when 〈Tv,w〉 = 〈v, T ′w〉 (for v ∈ D, w ∈ D′) For D dense, for given D′ there is at most one T...

The Lax-Friedrichs (LxF) method [2, 3, 4] is a basic method for the solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Its use is limited because its order is only one, but it is easy to program, applicable to general PDEs, and has good qualitative properties because it is monotone. The LxF method is often used to show the effects of dissipation, but it is not actually a dissipative ...

In this paper we investigate the performance of the weighted essential non-oscillatory (WENO) methods based on different numerical fluxes, with the objective of obtaining better performance for the shallow water equations by choosing suitable numerical fluxes. We consider six numerical fluxes, i.e., Lax-Friedrichs, local Lax-Friedrichs, Engquist-Osher, Harten-Lax-van Leer, HLLC and the first-or...
