9781333609528: On Finite-Difference Approximations and Entropy Conditions for Shocks

Synopsis

Uncover the complexities of mathematical techniques used to approximate solutions to hyperbolic conservation laws. This book delves into the intricacies of finite difference schemes, exploring their convergence properties and ability to capture physically relevant solutions. The author examines monotone schemes, proving their convergence to the desired solutions, and contrasts it with non-monotone schemes, demonstrating cases where they may not. Through rigorous mathematical analysis and numerical examples, the book sheds light on the relationship between monotonicity and the presence of viscosity terms. It highlights the significance of these schemes in understanding the behavior of conservation laws, particularly in the presence of shocks and discontinuities. By exploring the theoretical foundations and practical implications of these techniques, this book extends our knowledge of numerical methods for solving hyperbolic conservation laws and offers valuable insights for researchers, students, and practitioners working in applied mathematics, computational science, and related fields.
