Abstract
: A complete self-contained treatment of the stability and convergence properties of conservation form, monotone difference approximations to scalar conservation laws in several space variables is developed. In particular, the authors prove that general monotone difference schemes always converge and that they converge to the physical weak solution satisfying the entropy condition. Rigorous convergence results follow for dimensional splitting algorithms when each step is approximated by a monotone difference scheme. The results are general enough to include, for instance, Godunov's scheme, the upwind scheme (Differenced through stagnation points), and the Lax-Friedrichs scheme together with appropriate multi-dimensional generalizations.

Efficient implementation of essentially non-oscillatory shock-capturing schemes,II

TL;DR: Two methods of sharpening contact discontinuities-the subcell resolution idea of Harten and the artificial compression idea of Yang, which those authors originally used in the cell average framework-are applied to the current ENO schemes using numerical fluxes and TVD Runge-Kutta time discretizations.

High resolution schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws

TL;DR: In this article, a class of new explicit second order accurate finite difference schemes for the computation of weak solutions of hyperbolic conservation laws is presented, which are obtained by applying a nonoscillatory first order accurate scheme to an appropriately modified flux function.

Systems of conservation laws

TL;DR: In this article, a wide class of difference equations is described for approximating discontinuous time dependent solutions, with prescribed initial data, of hyperbolic systems of nonlinear conservation laws, and the best ones are determined, i.e., those which have the smallest truncation error and in which the discontinuities are confined to a narrow band of 2-3 meshpoints.
