Abstract:
A nonstandard finite element method for initial-boundary value problems for first-order hyperbolic systems in one space dimension with general boundary conditions is analyzed. The method can be considered as a generalization of the box scheme. We first establish a stability result for the method and then derive several error estimates.References
