Long-time behaviour of hybrid finite volume schemes for advection-diffusion equations: linear and nonlinear approaches (Q2159247)

The authors use discrete entropy methods to analyse the long time behaviour of three hybrid finite volume schemes for linear advection-diffusion equations. It is shown that the solutions to all these schemes converge exponentially fast in time towards the associated discrete steady-states. Two schemes among the three are new, that are the (linear) exponential fitting scheme and the nonlinear scheme, for which the existence and the positivity of discrete solutions are well proved. Some numerical simulations assessing long-time behaviour and positivity are presented to first illustrate the theoretical findings and to compare the accuracy of the schemes in the discrete \(L^2\)-norm and \(H^1\)-semi norm. The article is well detailed and interesting and it merits to read.
