Convergence of a Lagrangian-Eulerian scheme via the weak asymptotic method
share
This work presents a suitable mathematical analysis to understand the properties of convergence and bounded variation of a new fully discrete locally conservative Lagrangian–Eulerian explicit numerical scheme to the entropy solution in the sense of Kruzhkov via weak asymptotic method. We also make use of the weak asymptotic method to connect the theoretical developments with the computational approach within the practical framework of a solid numerical analysis. This method also serves to address the issue of notions of solutions, and its resulting algorithms have been proven to be effective to study nonlinear wave formations and rarefaction interactions in intricate applications. The weak asymptotic solutions we compute in this study with our novel Lagrangian–Eulerian framework are shown to coincide with classical solutions and Kruzhkov entropy solutions in the scalar case. Moreover, we present and discuss significant computational aspects by means of numerical experiments related to nontrivial problems: a nonlocal traffic model, the 2 × 2 symmetric Keyfitz–Kranzer system, and numerical studies via Wasserstein distance to explain shock interaction with the fundamental inviscid Burgers' model for fluids. Therefore, the proposed weak asymptotic analysis, when applied to the Lagrangian–Eulerian framework, fits in properly with the classical theory while optimizing the mathematical computations for the construction of new accurate numerical schemes.
