Many typical problems of numerical hydro-dynamics can be studied on the base of the simplest equation of convection transfer with a constant speed of the form \[ \frac{ \partial \varphi}{\partial t}+c\frac{\partial \varphi}{\partial x} = 0, c=const >0. \tag{1} \] It is known that the classical linear difference schemes for Eq. (1) lead to amplitude and phase mistakes which do not satisfythe modern requirements on numerical accuracy for solutions with a strong discontinuity. A necessary increase of the accuracy is achieved in the last decades by a nonlinear correction of flows. A new approach for the development of difference methods with high resolutions for the convection equation when the diffusion is taken into account is considered. Two different types of variables, i.e. ''conservative'' and ''flux'', are introduced which provide a conservation law fulfillment and a correct calculation of the characteristic region influence. Explicit monotone algorithms are constructed which have some advantages the known schemes.
