This paper addresses the three concepts of textit{ consistency, stability and convergence } in the context of compact finite volume schemes for systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The treatment utilizes the framework of balance laws. Such laws express the relevant physical conservation laws in the presence of discontinuities. Finite volume approximations employ this viewpoint, and the present paper can be regarded as being in this category. It is first shown that under very mild conditions a weak solution is indeed a solution to the balance law. The schemes considered here allow the computation of several quantities per mesh cell (e.g., slopes) and the notion of consistency must be extended to this framework. Then a suitable convergence theorem is established, generalizing the classical convergence theorem of Lax and Wendroff. Finally, the limit functions are shown to be entropy solutions by using a notion of Godunov compatibility, which serves as a substitute to the entropy condition.

We present a (partial) historical summary of the mathematical analysis of finite differences and finite volumes methods, paying a special attention to the Lax-Richtmyer and Lax-Wendroff theorems. We then state a Lax-Wendroff consistency result for convection operators on staggered grids (often used in fluid flow simulations), which illustrates a recent generalization of the flux consistency notion designed to cope with general discrete functions.
In this paper, we study an adaptive finite element method for a class of a nonlinear eigenvalue problems that may be of nonconvex energy functional and consider its applications to quantum chemistry. We prove the convergence of adaptive finite element approximations and present several numerical examples of micro-structure of matter calculations that support our theory.
This paper addresses the issue of the formulation of weak solutions to systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws as integral balance laws. The basic idea is that the meaningful objects are the fluxes, evaluated across domain boundaries over time intervals. The fundamental result in this treatment is the regularity of the flux trace in the multi-dimensional setting. It implies that a weak solution indeed satisfies the balance law. In fact, it is shown that the flux is Lipschitz continuous with respect to suitable perturbations of the boundary.
The Cauchy-Kowalewskaya (CK) procedure is a key building block in the design of solvers for the Generalised Rieman Problem (GRP) based on Taylor series expansions in time. The CK procedure allows us to express time derivatives in terms of purely space derivatives. This is a very cumbersome procedure, which often requires the use of software manipulators. In this paper, a simplification of the CK procedure is proposed in the context of implicit Taylor series expansion for GRP, for hyperbolic balance laws in the framework of [Journal of Computational Physics 303 (2015) 146-172]. A recursive formula for the CK procedure, which is straightforwardly implemented in computational codes, is obtained. The proposed GRP solver is used in the context of the ADER approach and several one-dimensional problems are solved to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the present scheme. An enhancement in terms of efficiency, is obtained. Furthermore, the expected theoretical orders of accuracy are achieved, conciliating accuracy and stability.
We consider entropy solutions to the initial value problem associated with scalar nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on the two-dimensional sphere. We propose a finite volume scheme which relies on a web-like mesh made of segments of longitude and latitude lines. The structure of the mesh allows for a discrete version of a natural geometric compatibility condition, which arose earlier in the well-posedness theory established by Ben-Artzi and LeFloch. We study here several classes of flux vectors which define the conservation law under consideration. They are based on prescribing a suitable vector field in the Euclidean three-dimensional space and then suitably projecting it on the spheres tangent plane; even when the flux vector in the ambient space is constant, the corresponding flux vector is a non-trivial vector field on the sphere. In particular, we construct here equatorial periodic solutions, analogous to one-dimensional periodic solutions to one-dimensional conservation laws, as well as a wide variety of stationary (steady state) solutions. We also construct confined solutions, which are time-dependent solutions supported in an arbitrarily specified subdomain of the sphere. Finally, representative numerical examples and test-cases are presented.
