Abstract:

Conservative linear equations arise in many areas of application, including continuum mechanics or high-frequency geometrical optics approximations. This kind of equation admits most of the time solutions which are only bounded measures in the space variable known as duality solutions. In this paper, we study the convergence of a class of finite-difference numerical schemes and introduce an appropriate concept of consistency with the continuous problem. Some basic examples including computational results are also supplied.
