Hermite WENO schemes and their application as limiters for Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method: One-dimensional case. (Q1418686)

The authors introduce a weighted essentially nonoscillating (WENO) discrete Galerkin method for conservation laws in one spatial dimension. The method uses a Runge-Kutta scheme to propagate in time both the solution \(u\) and the derivative \(\partial_x u\). The construction of an approximate solution uses an Hermite interpolation of these values, together with a limitation of oscillations. Several example computations are given, comparing the method with more traditional WENO schemes.
