Abstract. The nonoscillatory central difference scheme of Nessyahu and Tadmor is a Godunovtype scheme for one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws in which the resolution of Riemann problems at the cell interfaces is bypassed thanks to the use of the staggered Lax–Friedrichs scheme. Piecewise linear MUSCL-type (monotonic upstream-centered scheme for conservation laws) cell interpolants and ...

We discuss some recent developments and trends of applying measure-theoretic analysis to the study of nonlinear conservation laws. We focus particularly on entropy solutions without bounded variation and Cauchy fluxes on oriented surfaces which are used to formulate the balance law. Our analysis employs the Gauss-Green formula and normal traces for divergence-measure fields, Young measures and ...

where x = (x1, . . . , xd) ∈ IR , t > 0. HJ equations arise in many practical areas such as differential games, mathematical finance, image enhancement and front propagation. It is well known that solutions of (1) are Lipschitz continuous but derivatives can become discontinuous even if the initial data is smooth. There is a close relation between HJ equations and hyperbolic conservation laws. ...

We extend a family of high-resolution, semidiscrete central schemes for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws to three-space dimensions. Details of the schemes, their implementation, and properties are presented together with results from several prototypical applications of hyperbolic conservation laws including a nonlinear scalar equation, the Euler equations of gas dynamics, and the ideal ...

We present a family of high-resolution, semi-discrete central schemes for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in three space dimensions. The proposed schemes require minimal characteristic information to approximate the solutions of hyperbolic conservation laws, resulting in simple black box type solvers. Along with a description of the schemes and an overview of their implementation, we pr...

This article deals with relaxation approximations of nonlinear systems of hyperbolic balance laws. We introduce a class of relaxation schemes and establish their stability and convergence to the solution of hyperbolic balance laws before the formation of shocks, provided that we are within the framework of the compensated compactness method. Our analysis treats systems of hyperbolic balance law...

We consider solutions of hyperbolic conservation laws regularized with vanishing diffusion and dispersion terms. Following a pioneering work by Schonbek, we establish the convergence of the regularized solutions toward discontinuous solutions of the hyperbolic conservation law. The proof relies on the method of compensated compactness in the L 2 setting. Our result improves upon Schonbek's earl...

Solving boundary-value problems for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws with rapidly varying coeÆcients

In this paper we discuss the issue of conservation and convergence to weak solutions of several global schemes, including the commonly used compact schemes and spectral collocation schemes, for solving hyperbolic conservation laws. It is shown that such schemes, if convergent boundedly ahnost everywhere, will converge to weak solutions. The results are extensions of the classical Lax-Wendroff t...
