An $L^1$-error bound for a semiimplicit difference scheme applied to a
stiff system of conservation laws
Hans Joachim Schroll, Aslak Tveito, and Ragnar Winther
Abstract:
A straightforward semi-implicit finite difference method approximating a
system of conservation laws including a stiff relaxation term is analyzed.
We show that the error, measured in
$\Lone$, is bounded by $O(\sqrt{\dt})$ independent of the stiffness, where
the time step $\dt$ represents the mesh size. Furthermore, we show that
solutions of the stiff
system converge towards the solution of an equilibrium model
at a rate of $O(\delta^{1/3})$ in $\Lone$ as the relaxation
time $\delta$ tends to zero.
