Convergence of finite difference schemes for viscous and inviscid conservation laws with rough coefficients

Kenneth Hvistendahl Karlsen, Nils Henrik Risebro (2001)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We consider the initial value problem for degenerate viscous and inviscid scalar conservation laws where the flux function depends on the spatial location through a “rough” coefficient function k ( x ) . We show that the Engquist-Osher (and hence all monotone) finite difference approximations converge to the unique entropy solution of the governing equation if, among other demands, k ' is in B V , thereby providing alternative (new) existence proofs for entropy solutions of degenerate convection-diffusion equations...

Existence of solutions to generalized von Foerster equations with functional dependence

Henryk Leszczyński, Piotr Zwierkowski (2004)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We prove the existence of solutions to a differential-functional system which describes a wide class of multi-component populations dependent on their past time and state densities and on their total size. Using two different types of the Hale operator, we incorporate in this model classical von Foerster-type equations as well as delays (past time dependence) and integrals (e.g. influence of a group of species).

Finite volume schemes for multi-dimensional hyperbolic systems based on the use of bicharacteristics

Mária Lukáčová-Medviďová, Jitka Saibertová (2006)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we present recent results for the bicharacteristic based finite volume schemes, the so-called finite volume evolution Galerkin (FVEG) schemes. These methods were proposed to solve multi-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws. They combine the usually conflicting design objectives of using the conservation form and following the characteristics, or bicharacteristics. This is realized by combining the finite volume formulation with approximate evolution operators, which use bicharacteristics...

Genuinely multi-dimensional non-dissipative finite-volume schemes for transport

Bruno Després, Frédéric Lagoutière (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We develop a new multidimensional finite-volume algorithm for transport equations. This algorithm is both stable and non-dissipative. It is based on a reconstruction of the discrete solution inside each cell at every time step. The proposed reconstruction, which is genuinely multidimensional, allows recovering sharp profiles in both the direction of the transport velocity and the transverse direction. It constitutes an extension of the one-dimensional reconstructions analyzed in (Lagoutière, 2005;...
