Relaxation Deferred Correction Methods and their Applications to Residual Distribution Schemes
share
In [1] is proposed a simplified DeC method, that, when combined with the residual distribution (RD) framework, allows to construct a high order, explicit FE scheme with continuous approximation avoiding the inversion of the mass matrix for hyperbolic problems. In this paper, we close some open gaps in the context of deferred correction (DeC) and their application within the RD framework. First, we demonstrate the connection between the DeC schemes and the RK methods. With this knowledge, DeC can be rewritten as a convex combination of explicit Euler steps, showing the connection to the strong stability preserving (SSP) framework. Then, we can apply the relaxation approach introduced in [2] and construct entropy conservative/dissipative DeC (RDeC) methods, using the entropy correction function proposed in [3]. [1] R. Abgrall.
