Implicit monotone difference methods for scalar conservation laws with source terms

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this article, a concept of implicit methods for scalar conservation laws in one or more spatial dimensions allowing also for source terms of various types is presented. This material is a significant extension of previous work of the first author [3]. Implicit notions are developed that are centered around a monotonicity criterion. We demonstrate a connection between a numerical scheme and a discrete entropy inequality, which is based on a classical approach by Crandall and Majda. Additionally, three implicit methods are investigated using the developed notions. Next, we conduct a convergence proof which is not based on a classical compactness argument. Finally, the theoretical results are confirmed by various numerical tests.


The authors consider some implicit methods for scalar conservation laws in one or more spatial dimensions that may also include source terms of different type. They develop implicit notions that are centered around a monotonicity criterion and show the relationship between a numerical scheme and a discrete entropy inequality. They give convergence proofs for three implicit methods and extend the rigorously verified range of applicability of those implicit numerical methods. The numerical examples show the validity and usefulness of the authors' theoretical results. This work is an extension of the first author's previous work [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 43, No. 3, 970--986 (2005; Zbl 1102.35065)].
