We consider some natural connections which arise between right-flat (p, q) para-conformal structures and integrable systems. We find that such systems may be formulated in Lax form, with a " Lax p-tuple " of linear differential operators, depending a spectral parameter which lives in (q − 1)-dimensional complex projective space. Generally, the differential operators contain partial derivatives ...

Introduction. In this note we develop a multistep formulation of the optimized Lax-Wendroff method for hyperbolic systems. This scheme was derived by Strang [6], [7]. The present formulation extends in a natural way, the two-step formulation of Richtmyer [5] for systems in one-space variable. We summarise this case in the next section. One Space Dimension. We consider the first-order conservati...

In this paper we construct extensions of Set-monads – and, more generally, of lax Rel-monads – into lax monads of the bicategory Mat(V) of generalized V-matrices, whenever V is a well-behaved lattice equipped with a tensor product. We add some guiding examples.

Abstract The Lax-Wendroff scheme is extended to incompressible fluid flow problems within the framework of artificial compressibility method (ACM) utilizing a “cell-centered finite-volume” Δ-approximation on non-orthogonal non-staggered grid. An ACM induces transformation between conservative and primitive variables; physical relevance bring about “matrix preconditionings”, provoking density pe...

Four explicit finite difference schemes, including Lax-Friedrichs, Nessyahu-Tadmor, Lax-Wendroff and Lax-Wendroff with a nonlinear filter are applied to solve water hammer equations. The schemes solve the equations in a reservoir-pipe-valve with an instantaneous and gradual closure of the valve boundary. The computational results are compared with those of the method of characteristics (MOC), a...

Abstract. In this paper we introduce a definition of the local conservation property for numerical methods solving time dependent conservation laws, which generalizes the classical local conservation definition. The motivation of our definition is the Lax-Wendroff theorem, and thus we prove it for locally conservative numerical schemes per our definition in one and two space dimensions. Several...

Abstract. We are concerned with the convergence of Lax-Wendroff type schemes with high resolution to the entropy solutions for conservation laws. These schemes include the original Lax-Wendroff scheme proposed by Lax and Wendroff in 1960 and its two step versions–the Richtmyer scheme and the MacCormack scheme. For the convex scalar conservation laws with algebraic growth flux functions, we prov...

Finite-differences methods such as the Lax-Wendroff method (LW) are commonly used to solve 1D models of blood flow. These models solve for blood flow and lumen area and are useful in disease research, such as hypertension and atherosclerosis, where flow and pressure are good indicators for the presence of disease. Despite the popularity of the LW method to solve the blood flow equations, no imp...
