The numerical solution of hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations in three independent variables

Abstract: An original method of integration is described for quasi-linear hyperbolic equations in three independent variables. The solution is constructed by means of a step-by-step procedure, employing difference relations along four bicharacteristics and one time-like ordinary curve through each point. From these difference relations the derivatives of the dependent variables at the unknown point are eliminated. The solution at any point can then be com­puted, with an error proportional to the step size cubed, without… Show more

“…Section 2 will be devoted to finite difference and evolution Galerkin methods for the wave equation system which are based on the straightforward use of the bicharacteristic cone. We will describe the approach of Butler [3] (and its follow up by Prasad et al [25], [26]) who first used bicharacteristics in order to derive numerical schemes. We will prove a useful lemma which allows us to derive new approximate evolution operators for the wave equation system.…”

“…They provide utmost correspondence between the dependence regions of the starting differential equations and approximating difference equations, what notably increases the accuracy of results for smooth and discontinuous solutions; they also provide correct identification of boundaries and contacts. In 1960, an explicit scheme of second order was suggested for a system of partial differential equations of second order in three variables [1]. The scheme employed characteristics and it was used for studying plane waves [2].…”
