This paper addresses the question whether there are numerical schemes for constant-coefficient advection problems that can yield convergent solutions for an infinite time horizon. The motivation is that such methods may serve as building blocks for long-time accurate solutions in more complex advection-dominated problems. After establishing a new notion of convergence in an infinite time limit of numerical methods, we first show that linear methods cannot meet this convergence criterion. Then we present a new numerical methodology, based on a nonlinear jet scheme framework. We show that these methods do satisfy the new convergence criterion, thus establishing that numerical methods exist that converge on an infinite time horizon, and demonstrate the long-time accuracy gains incurred by this property.
