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 ...

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...

We study the stability of some finite difference schemes for symmetric hyperbolic systems in two space dimensions. For the so-called upwind scheme and the Lax-Wendroff scheme with a stabilizer, we show that stability is equivalent to strong stability, meaning that both schemes are either unstable or `-decreasing. These results improve on a series of partial results on strong stability. We also ...

Two finite-difference methods for, geophysical .fluid problems are described, and stability conditions of these schemes arc discussed. These two schemes are formulated based upon a similar procedure given by Lax and Wendroff in order to obtain a second-order accuracy in finite-difference equations. However, the two schemes show remarkable differcnces.io their computational stability. One scheme...

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...

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...

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...
