A class of high-order discontinuous-Galerkin methods satisfying infinitely many entropy conditions with provable error estimates and strong convergence for general nonlinear conservation laws
Abstract
We propose a novel framework for deriving semi-discrete discontinuous-Galerkin (DG) methods using operator semigroups for scalar conservation laws, then apply it to construct a class of high-order OFDG-type schemes [13] satisfying infinitely many local entropy inequalities with general E-fluxes on non-uniform meshes. Such schemes are further generalized to systems of conservation laws in any number of space dimensions by using entropy stable numerical fluxes in the sense of [1]. Finally, we prove optimal error estimates for smooth solutions to nonlinear scalar conservation laws, and prove strong convergence for discontinuous solutions to strictly convex conservation laws via compensated compactness.
