Abstract: We consider here second-order finite volume methods for one-dimensional scalar conservation laws. We give a method to determine a slope reconstruction satisfying all the exact numerical entropy inequalities. It avoids inhomogeneous slope limitations and, at least, gives a convergence rate of $\Delta x^{1/2}$. It is obtained by a theory of second-order entropic projections involving values at the nodes of the grid and a variant of error estimates, which also gives new results for the first-order Engquist-Osher scheme.
