Strong stability preserving hybrid methods (Q1012239): Difference between revisions

The author constructs a series of new strong stability preserving (SSP) explicit methods of orders 2 through 7 with nonnegative coefficients to solve partial differential equations (PDE) by the method of lines. Since solutions of hyperbolic PDEs are frequently discontinuous, time integration of the new methods is based on a nonlinear stability requirement. The lower order methods have larger effective CFL coeffficients than commonly used methods. Numerical experiments on the Burgers equation are given.
