Central Schemes for Balance Laws of Relaxation Type

TLDR
A generalization of the Nessyahu--Tadmor scheme to the nonhomogeneous case by including the cell averages of the production terms in the discrete balance equations and a second order scheme uniformly accurate in the relaxation parameter is derived and its properties analyzed.
Abstract
Several models in mathematical physics are described by quasi-linear hyperbolic systems with source term and in several cases the production term can become stiff. Here suitable central numerical schemes for such problems are developed and applications to the Broadwell model and extended thermodynamics are presented. The numerical methods are a generalization of the Nessyahu--Tadmor scheme to the nonhomogeneous case by including the cell averages of the production terms in the discrete balance equations. A second order scheme uniformly accurate in the relaxation parameter is derived and its properties analyzed. Numerical tests confirm the accuracy and robustness of the scheme.

TL;DR: To the best of our knowledge, there is only one application of mathematical modelling to face recognition as mentioned in this paper, and it is a face recognition problem that scarcely clamoured for attention before the computer age but, having surfaced, has attracted the attention of some fine minds.

Implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta schemes and applications to hyperbolic systems with relaxation

TL;DR: In this article, new implicit-explicit (IMEX) Runge-Kutta methods were proposed for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with stiff relaxation terms. But the implicit part is treated by a strong-stability-preserving (SSP) scheme, and the explicit part is represented by an L-stable diagonally implicit Runge Kutta method (DIRK).

A Fourth-Order Central WENO Scheme for Multidimensional Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws

TL;DR: The heart of the method is the reconstruction step, in which a genuinely two-dimensional interpolant is reconstructed from cell averages by taking a convex combination of building blocks in the form of biquadratic polynomials.
