Large-time behavior of solutions of Lax-Friedrichs finite difference equations for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws

Journal Article · · Mathematics of Computation; (United States)
The author studies the large-time behavior of discrete solutions of the Lax-Friedrichs finite difference equations for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. The initial data considered here are small and tend to a constant state at x = {plus minus}{infinity}. He shows that the solutions tend to the discrete diffusion waves at the rate O(t{sup {minus}3/4+1/2p+{sigma}}) in l{sup 0}, 1 {le} p {le} {infinity}, with {sigma} > 0 being an arbitrarily small constant. The discrete diffusion waves can be constructed from the self-similar solutions of the heat equation and the Burgers equation through an averaging process.
