TLDR
In this paper, a matching scheme consistent to an equivalent initial boundary value problem was proposed to verify the algebraic conditions for stability of dissipative difference schemes across a coordinate line, and it was shown that some unstable perturbations do not upset the stability of the Lax-Wendroff scheme.
Abstract
Approximations that result from the natural matching of two stable dissipative difference schemes across a coordinate line are shown to be stable. The basic idea is to reformulate the matching scheme consistent to an equivalent initial boundary value problem and to verify the algebraic conditions for stability of such systems. An interesting comparison to the above result is the case of redefinition of a scheme at a single point. In particular, we show that some unstable perturbations do not upset the stability of the Lax–Wendroff scheme.

Stability criteria for hybrid difference methods

TL;DR: The stability of hybrid difference methods, where different schemes are used in different parts of the domain, is examined and shown that the energy method with the natural norm does not prove stability, but that the Kreiss or 'GKS' theory yields sufficient criteria for stability.
