We are concerned with the structure of the operator
corresponding to the Lax–Friedrichs method.
At first, the phenomenae which may arise by the
naive use of the Lax–Friedrichs scheme are analyzed.
In particular, it turns out that the correct
definition of the method has to include the details
of the discretization of the initial condition
and the computational domain. Based on the results of the
discussion, we give a recipe that ensures that the
number of extrema within the discretized version of
the initial data cannot increase
by the application of the scheme.
The usefulness of the recipe is
confirmed by numerical tests.
