Numerical Passage from Systems of Conservation Laws to Hamilton-Jacobi Equations, and a Relaxation Scheme

Shi Jin and Zhouping Xin


Abstract: In this paper we study the numerical transition from a Hamilton-Jacobi (H-J) equation to its associated system of conservation laws in arbitrary space dimensions. We first study how, in a very generic setting, one can recover the viscosity solution of the H-J equation using the numerical solution of the system of conservation laws. We then introduce a simple, second order relaxation scheme to solve the underlying weakly hyperbolic system of conservation laws.
