A new method of imposing boundary conditions for hyperbolic equations
A new method to impose boundary conditions for pseudospectral approximations to hyperbolic equations is suggested. This method involves the collocation of the equation at the boundary nodes as well as satisfying boundary conditions. Stability and convergence results are proven for the Chebyshev approximation of linear scalar hyperbolic equations. The eigenvalues of this method applied to parabolic equations are shown to be real and negative.

Solvability of Nonlinear Inverse Problem for Hyperbolic Equation
We consider the nonlinear inverse problem for a second order hyperbolic equation with unknown coefficient depending on the time. We establish the existence and uniqueness of regular solutions which are used for constructing a soltuion to the inverse problem under consideration.

Stability analysis of the Eulerian–Lagrangian finite volume methods for nonlinear hyperbolic equations in one space dimension
In this paper, we construct a novel Eulerian–Lagrangian finite volume (ELFV) method for nonlinear scalar hyperbolic equations in one space dimension. It is well known that the exact solutions to such problems may contain shocks though the initial conditions are smooth, and direct numerical methods may suffer from restricted time step sizes. To relieve the restriction, we propose an ELFV method, where the space-time domain was separated by the partition lines originated from the cell interfaces whose slopes are obtained following the Rakine–Hugoniot junmp condition. Unfortunately, to avoid the intersection of the partition lines, the time step sizes are still limited. To fix this gap, we detect effective troubled cells (ETCs) and carefully design the influence region of each ETC, within which the partitioned space-time regions are merged together to form a new one. Then with the new partition of the space-time domain, we theoretically prove that the proposed first-order scheme with Euler forward time discretization is total-variation-diminishing and maximum-principle-preserving with at least twice larger time step constraints than the classical first order Eulerian method for Burgers’ equation. Numerical experiments verify the optimality of the designed time step sizes.

An iterative method for systems of nonlinear hyperbolic equations
An iterative algorithm for the efficient solution of systems of nonlinear hyperbolic equations is presented. Parallelism is evident at several levels. In the formation of the iteration, the equations are decoupled, thereby providing large grain parallelism. Parallelism may also be exploited within the solves for each equation. Convergence of the interation is established via a bounding function argument. Experimental results in two-dimensions are presented.

Absorbing boundary conditions for second-order hyperbolic equations
A uniform approach to construct absorbing artificial boundary conditions for second-order linear hyperbolic equations is proposed. The nonlocal boundary condition is given by a pseudodifferential operator that annihilates travelling waves. It is obtained through the dispersion relation of the differential equation by requiring that the initial-boundary value problem admits the wave solutions travelling in one direction only. Local approximation of this global boundary condition yields an nth-order differential operator. It is shown that the best approximations must be in the canonical forms which can be factorized into first-order operators. These boundary conditions are perfectly absorbing for wave packets propagating at certain group velocities. A hierarchy of absorbing boundary conditions is derived for transonic small perturbation equations of unsteady flows. These examples illustrate that the absorbing boundary conditions are easy to derive, and the effectiveness is demonstrated by the numerical experiments.

Second-order numerical solution of time-dependent, first-order hyperbolic equations
A finite difference scheme is developed to find an approximate solution of two similar hyperbolic equations, namely a first-order plane wave and spherical wave problem. Finite difference approximations are made for both the space and time derivatives. The result is a conditionally stable equation yielding an exact solution when the Courant number is set to one.

A hyperbolic-equation system approach for magnetized electron fluids in quasi-neutral plasmas
A new approach using a hyperbolic-equation system (HES) is proposed to solve for the electron fluids in quasi-neutral plasmas. The HES approach avoids treatments of cross-diffusion terms which cause numerical instabilities in conventional approaches using an elliptic equation (EE). A test calculation reveals that the HES approach can robustly solve problems of strong magnetic confinement by using an upwind method. The computation time of the HES approach is compared with that of the EE approach in terms of the size of the problem and the strength of magnetic confinement. The results indicate that the HES approach can be used to solve problems in a simple structured mesh without increasing computational time compared to the EE approach and that it features fast convergence in conditions of strong magnetic confinement.

Composite methods for hyperbolic equations
A composite approximation procedure combining the properties of the Lax-Wendroff and leapfrog algorithms is proposed for solving hyperbolic equations. For a one-dimensional equation, a three-step approximation consisting of a two-step Richtmeyer method followed by a leapfrog step is considered. This is a two-level scheme, so all difficulties, including storage requirements, associated with the three-level leapfrog are eliminated. For two-dimensional problems a generalization of the preceding method is used consisting of a rotated Richtmeyer method followed by a modified leapfrog step. It is found that the composite schemes are effective in reducing oscillations and nonlinear instabilities that affect the leapfrog method. The dissipation in the composite schemes is much less than in the Richtmeyer algorithm, and hence can be used for long term integrations.

A flux-splitting method for hyperbolic-equation system of magnetized electron fluids in quasi-neutral plasmas
A flux-splitting method is proposed for the hyperbolic-equation system (HES) of magnetized electron fluids in quasi-neutral plasmas. The numerical fluxes are split into four categories, which are computed by using an upwind method which incorporates a flux-vector splitting (FVS) and advection upstream splitting method (AUSM). The method is applied to a test calculation condition of uniformly distributed and angled magnetic lines of force. All of the pseudo-time advancement terms converge monotonically and the conservation laws are strictly satisfied in the steady state. The calculation results are compared with those computed by using the elliptic–parabolic-equation system (EPES) approach using a magnetic-field-aligned mesh (MFAM). Both qualitative and quantitative comparisons yield good agreements of results, indicating that the HES approach with the flux-splitting method attains a high computational accuracy.

Low-dissipation centred schemes for hyperbolic equations in conservative and non-conservative form
We propose a one-parameter family of low-dissipation centred numerical schemes for solving hyperbolic equations in conservative or non-conservative form, using finite volume or discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods. The new schemes spring out from the multi-dimensional FORCE method and are determined by a single parameter α ≥ 1. Given an increasing sequence of real numbers 1 ≤ α 1 < α 2 < . . . < α K , there corresponds a sequence of numerical schemes with stability restriction associated to a decreasing sequence of Courant numbers 1 > c 1 > c 2 > . . . > c K > 0 and a decreasing sequence of corresponding numerical viscosity functions d 1 > d 2 > . . . > d K . For a given Courant number c k ≤ 1 there is a real number α k > 0 and a corresponding stable scheme with minimal numerical viscosity d k . The proposed schemes suit very well the family of high-order discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods and the recently proposed class of ADER-TR schemes, whose orders of accuracy define decreasing sequences of Courant numbers, as the order of accuracy increases. The centred methods of this paper are stable in 2D and 3D in the frame of simultaneous updating formulae, unlike other centred methods, such as 1D FORCE, which are not. Furthermore, the schemes are highly accurate for slowly-moving waves, which is precisely the kind of waves that traditional centred methods smear disastrously. Additional features of the proposed schemes include ease of implementation and applicability to any hyperbolic system either in conservative or non-conservative form. Here, the proposed schemes are analysed and computationally assessed through a suite of test problems for a linear model system, for the Euler equations in one and two space dimensions, and for the Baer-Nunziato equations for compressible two-phase flow.

Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation for a hyperbolic equation with Dirichlet and acoustic boundary conditions
This paper is concerned with a theoretical and numerical study for the initial-boundary value problem for a linear hyperbolic equation with variable coefficient and acoustic boundary conditions. On the theoretical results, we prove the existence and uniqueness of global solutions, and the uniform stability of the total energy. Numerical simulations using the finite element method associated with the finite difference method are employed, for one-dimensional and two-dimensional cases, to validate the theoretical results. In addition, numerically the uniform decay rate for energy and the order of convergence of the approximate solution are also shown.
