Convergence of a Lagrangian-Eulerian scheme by a weak asymptotic analysis for one-dimensional hyperbolic problems

Abstract

In this paper, we study both convergence and bounded variation properties of a new fully discrete conservative Lagrangian--Eulerian scheme to the entropy solution in the sense of Kruzhkov (scalar case) by using a weak asymptotic analysis. We discuss theoretical developments on the conception of no-flow curves for hyperbolic problems within scientific computing. The resulting algorithms have been proven to be effective to study nonlinear wave formations and rarefaction interactions. We present experiments to a study based on the use of the Wasserstein distance to show the effectiveness of the no-flow curves approach in the cases of shock interaction with an entropy wave related to the inviscid Burgers' model problem and to a 2x2 nonlocal traffic flow symmetric system of type Keyfitz--Kranzer.
