Abstract: We are concerned with the convergence of numerical schemes for the initial value problem associated to the Keyfitz-Kranzer system of equations. This system is a toy model for several important models such as in elasticity theory, magnetohydrodynamics, and enhanced oil recovery. In this paper we prove the convergence of three difference schemes. Two of these schemes is shown to converge to the unique entropy solution. Finally, the convergence is illustrated by several examples.


Finite difference methods for the Keyfitz-Kranzer system are considered. The authors first propose an upwind semi-discrete finite difference scheme and prove the convergence to the weak solution. Then they propose two fully discrete schemes. One is proved to converge to a distributional solution of the system under some restriction on the norm of the solution. The other one is shown to converge to the unique entropy solution of the system. Examples are provided and the numerical convergence rates are studied.
