Entropy dissipation of moving mesh adaptation (Q2929931)

The paper deals with a scalar conservation law NEWLINE\[NEWLINEu_{t}+f(u)_{x}=0, \; x \in [a,b], \,t \in [0,T],NEWLINE\]NEWLINE augmented with an initial data and periodic boundary conditions. The main adaptive scheme (MAS) in the form of mesh-solution pairs can be represented as NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \{M_{x}^{n}, U^{n}\} @>{\text{mesh \; adapt.}}>> \{M_{x}^{n+1}, \hat{U}^{n}\}@>{\text{mesh \; scheme}}>> \{M_{x}^{n+1}, {U}^{n+1}\},NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(M_{x}^{n}, U^{n}\) are the mesh and the numerical solution at the step \(n\) and \(\hat{U}^{n}\) is the reconstruction of \(U^{n}\) over \(M_{x}^{n+1}\). It has been experimentally noted that mesh adaptation can lead to both the locally improved solution and to the numerical stability. The authors develop this idea and extract sufficient conditions (on the adaptation of the mesh) that stabilize a numerical scheme in the sense of the entropy dissipation.
