Convergence of a staggered Lax-Friedrichs scheme for nonlinear conservation laws on unstructured two-dimensional grids (Q5943707)

The purpose of this paper is to study convergence of the most simple Nessyahu-Tadmor (NT) scheme, the staggered Lax-Friedrichs scheme, on unstructured two-dimensional grids. A general proof of convergence, as obtained for the original one-dimensional NT-schemes, does not exist for any of the extensions to multidimensional nonlinear problems. The authors present a proof of convergence for the first-order scheme (in case of nonlinear scalar hyperbolic conservation laws) on two-dimensional unstructured grids introduced by \textit{P. Arminjon} and \textit{M.~C. Viallon} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 320, No. 1, 85-88 (1995; Zbl 0831.65091); Proceedings of the 6th Int. Symposium on Comp.
