Abstract: We prove convergence of a finite difference scheme to the unique entropy solution of a general form of the Ostrovsky--Hunter equation on a bounded domain with non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our scheme is an extension of monotone schemes for conservation laws to the equation at hand. The convergence result at the center of this article also proves existence of entropy solutions for the initial-boundary value prob lem for the general Ostrovsky--Hunter equation. Additionally, we show uniqueness using Kruv{z}kov's doubling of variables technique. We also include numerical examples to confirm the convergence results and determine rates of convergence experimentally.


The authors study a generalization of the Ostrovsky-Hunter equation on a bounded domain with non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. A finite difference scheme is proposed and is shown to converge to the unique entropy solution. The existence of entropy solutions for the initial-boundary value problem for the general Ostrovsky-Hunter equation is also demonstrated. Uniqueness is shown by employing Kružkov's doubling of variables technique. Several numerical examples are presented as illustration to the main results.
