Convergence of relaxation schemes for conservation laws

We study the stability and the convergence for a class of relaxing numerical schemes for conservation laws. Following the approach recently proposed by S. Jin and Z. Xin we use a semilinear local relaxation approximation, with a stiff lower order term, and we construct some numerical first and second order accurate algorithms, which are uniformly bounded in the L^∞ and BV norms with respect to the relaxation parameter. The relaxation limit is also investigated.     

Analysis of a Non-hyperbolic System Modeling Two-phase Flows Part 1: The Effects of Diffusion and Relaxation

The paper considers the non-linear stability of a non-hyperbolic system of conservation laws with both relaxation and diffusion, which is commonly used for the modeling of two-phase fluid flows. Global existence in time is proved for initial data with a sufficiently small H¹ norm. This result heavily depends on the nice structure of the relaxation system, derived from the initial system by setting the relaxation variables to zero. © 1997 by B. G.

Relaxation WENO schemes for multidimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws

We present a class of high‐order weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) reconstructions based on relaxation approximation of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. The main advantage of combining the WENO schemes with relaxation approximation is the fact that the presented schemes avoid solution of the Riemann problems due to the relaxation approach and high‐resolution is obtained by applying the WENO approach. The emphasis is on a fifth‐order scheme and its performance for solving a wide class of systems of conservation laws. To show the effectiveness of these methods, we present numerical results for different test problems on multidimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the Cauchy problem for macroscopic model of pedestrian flows

In this paper, we discuss the limit behavior of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with stiff relaxation terms to the local systems as the relaxation time tends to zero. The prototype is crowd models derived from crowd dynamics according to macroscopic scaling when the flow of crowds is supposed to satisfy the paradigms of continuum mechanics. Under an appropriate structural stability condition, the asymptotic expansion is obtained when one assumes the existence of a smooth solution to the equilibrium system. In this case, the local existence of a classical solution is also shown.     

Weak solutions for equations defined by accretive operators II: relaxation limits

In the first part of this paper we define solutions for certain nonlinear equations defined by accretive operators, “dissipative solution”. This kind of solution is equivalent to the viscosity solutions for Hamilton-Jacobi equations and to the entropy solutions for conservation laws.In this paper we use dissipative solutions to obtain several relaxation limits for systems of semilinear transport equations and quasilinear conservation laws. These converge to diffusion second-order equations and in one case to a single conservation law. The relaxation limit is obtained using a version of the perturbed test function method to pass to the limit. This guarantees existence for the considered equations.     

SOME RESULTS ON HYPERBOLIC SYSTEMS WITH RELAXATION

In this article, first, the authors prove that there exists a unique global smooth solution for the Cauthy problem to the hyperbolic conservation laws systems with relaxation; second, in the large time station, they prove that the global smooth solutions of the hyperbolic conservation laws systems with relaxation converge to rarefaction waves solution at a determined L^P（p ≥ 2） decay rate.     

Adjoint IMEX-based schemes for control problems governed by hyperbolic conservation laws

Starting from relaxation schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws we derive continuous and discrete schemes for optimization problems subject to nonlinear, scalar hyperbolic conservation laws. We discuss properties of first- and second-order discrete schemes and show their relations to existing results. In particular, we introduce first and second-order relaxation and relaxed schemes for both adjoint and forward equations. We give numerical results including tracking type problems with non-smooth desired states.     

ON THE CENTRAL RELAXING SCHEMES I:SINGLE CONSERVATION LAWS

1. IntroductionIn [6], Jin and adn constructed a class of uPWind relaxing schemes for nonlinearconservation lawswith initial data u(0, x) ~ "o(x), x ~ (xl, ...t -cd), by using the idea of the local relaxation approximation [2,3,6,10].The relaxing scheme is obtained in the following way: A linear hyperbolic systemwith a stiff source term is first constructed to approximate the original equation (1.1)with a small dissipative correction. Then this linear hyperbolic system is solved easilyby und…     

Diffusion-dispersion limits for multidimensional scalar conservation laws with source terms

In this paper we consider conservation laws with diffusion and dispersion terms. We study the convergence for approximation applied to conservation laws with source terms. The proof is based on the Hwang and Tzavaras's new approach [Seok Hwang, Athanasios E. Tzavaras, Kinetic decomposition of approximate solutions to conservation laws: Application to relaxation and diffusion-dispersion approximations, Comm. Partial Differential Equations 27 (5-6) (2002) 1229-1254] and the kinetic formulation developed by Lions, Perthame, and Tadmor [P.-L. Lions, B. Perthame, E. Tadmor, A kinetic formulation of multidimensional scalar conservation laws and related equations, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 7 (1) (1994) 169-191].     

Generalization of a Relaxation Scheme for Systems of Forced Nonlinear Hyperbolic Conservation Laws with Spatially Dependent Flux Functions

A generalization of a finite difference method for calculating numerical solutions to systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws in one spatial variable is investigated. A previously developed numerical technique called the relaxation method is modified from its initial application to solve initial value problems for systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The relaxation method is generalized in three ways herein to include problems involving any combination of the following factors: systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws with spatially dependent flux functions, nonzero forcing terms, and correctly posed boundary values. An initial value problem for the forced inviscid Burgers' equation is used as an example to show excellent agreement between theoretical solutions and numerical calculations. An initial boundary value problem consisting of a system of four partial differential equations based on the two-layer shallow-water equations is solved numerically to display a more general applicability of the method than was previously known.     

Finite-difference methods for one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws

This article contains a survey of some important finite-difference methods for one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws. Weak solutions of hyperbolic conservation laws are introduced and the concept of entropy stability is discussed. Furthermore, the Riemann problem for hyperbolic conservation laws is solved. An introduction to finite-difference methods is given for which important concepts such as, e.g., conservativity, stability, and consistency are introduced. Godunov-type methods are elaborated for general systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. Finally, flux limiter methods are developed for the scalar nonlinear conservation law. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

The third-order relaxation schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws

A class of semi-discrete third-order relaxation schemes are presented for relaxation systems which approximate systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. These schemes for the scalar conservation law are shown to satisfy the property of total variation diminishing (TVD) in the zero relaxation limit. A third-order TVD Runge–Kutta splitting method is developed for the temporal discretization of the semi-discrete schemes. Numerical results are given illustrating these schemes on one-dimensional nonlinear problems.

The Jin–Xin relaxation approximation of scalar conservation laws in several dimensions with large initial perturbation

This paper is concerned with nonlinear stability of strong planar rarefaction waves for the Jin–Xin relaxation approximation of scalar conservation laws in several dimensions. For such a problem, local stability of weak or strong planar rarefaction waves have been obtained in Luo (1997) [20] and Zhao (2000) [43] respectively. For the global stability results, to the best of our knowledge, the only result available now is on the one-dimensional case, cf. Zhao (2000) [43], which is based on the maximum principle established in Natalini (1996) [30]. The main purpose of this paper is try to deduce some nonlinear stability results with large initial perturbation. Our analysis is based on the elementary energy method and the continuation argument.     

Nonlinear diffusive-dispersive limits for scalar multidimensional conservation laws

We consider a class of multidimensional conservation laws with vanishing nonlinear diffusion and dispersion terms. Under a condition on the relative size of the diffusion and dispersion coefficients, we show that the approximate solutions converge in a strong topology to the entropy solution of a scalar conservation law. Our proof is based on methodology developed in [S. Hwang, A.E. Tzavaras, Kinetic decomposition of approximate solutions to conservation laws: Applications to relaxation and diffusion-dispersion approximations, Comm. Partial Differential Equations 27 (2002) 1229-1254] which uses the averaging lemma.     

具张弛的拟线性双曲守恒律方程组

In this paper,we investigate the relaxation phenomenon for quasilinear hyper- bolic conservation laws,and obtain global smooth solutions and the life span of classical solutions to its Canchy problem.These results shows that the relaxation admits the effects of dissipation.     

Zero relaxation and dissipation limits for hyperbolic conservation laws

We are interested in hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with relaxation and dissipation, particularly the zero relaxation limit. Such a limit is of interest in several physical situations, including gas flow near thermo-equilibrium, kinetic theory with small mean free path, and viscoelasticity with vanishing memory. In this article we study hyperbolic systems of two conservation laws with relaxation. For the stable case where the equilibrium speed is subcharacteristic with respect to the frozen speeds, we illustrate for a model in viscoelasticity that no oscillation develops for the nonlinear system in the zero relaxation limit. For the marginally stable case where the equilibrium speed may equal one of the frozen speeds, we show for a model in phase transitions that no oscillation arises when the dissipation is present and goes to zero more slowly than the relaxation. Our analysis includes the construction of suitable entropy pairs to derive energy estimates. We need such energy estimates not only for the compactness properties but also for the deviation from the equilibrium of the solutions for the relaxation systems. The theory of compensated compactness is then applied to study the oscillation in the zero relaxation limit. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Nonstrictly hyperbolic systems with stiff relaxation terms

In this paper, a zero factor idea is introduced to extend the convergence framework in [G.-Q. Chen, C.D. Levermore, T.-P. Liu, Hyperbolic conservation laws with stiff relaxation terms and entropy, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 47 (1994) 787-830] for the singular limits of stiff relaxation from general 2×2 hyperbolic conservation systems to nonstrictly hyperbolic systems and an application of this framework on the so-called system of extended traffic flow is obtained.     

Stability of contact discontinuity for Jin-Xin relaxation system

In this paper, we first construct a contact wave for 1-dimensional Jin-Xin relaxation system [S. Jin, Z.P. Xin, The relaxation schemes for systems of conservation laws in arbitrary space dimensions, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 48 (1995) 235-277]. This wave serves as the relaxation version of contact discontinuity of the corresponding hyperbolic system at equilibrium. Such a contact wave is shown to be nonlinearly stable under small initial perturbation. The time-decay rate is also obtained by weighted energy estimates.     

Convergence of Approximate Solutions for Quasilinear Hyperbolic Conservation Laws with Relaxation

In this article the author considers the limiting behavior of quasilinear hyperbolic conservation laws with relaxation, particularly the zero relaxation limit. Our analysis includes the construction of suitably entropy flux pairs to deduce the L∞ estimate of the solutions, and the theory of compensated compactness is then applied to study the convergence of the approximate solutions to its Cauchy problem.
