This paper is concerned with the numerical analysis of the explicit upwind finite volume scheme for numerically solving continuity equations. We are interested in the case where the advecting velocity field has spatial Sobolev regularity and initial data are merely integrable. We estimate the error between approximate solutions constructed by the upwind scheme and distributional solutions of the continuous problem in a Kantorovich--Rubinstein distance, which was recently used for stability…

TLDR
This work revisits some standard schemes, including upwind schemes and some B-schemes, for linear conservation laws from the viewpoint of jump processes, and establishes the uniform exponential convergence to the steady states of these schemes.

Eulerian and Lagrangian Solutions to the Continuity and Euler Equations with L1 Vorticity
TLDR
This paper addresses a question that arose in \cite{FilhoMazzucatoNussenzveig06}, namely whether 2D Euler solutions obtained via vanishing viscosity are renormalized when the initial data has low integrability.

Convergence of an explicit finite volume scheme for first order symmetric systems
TLDR
A new technique is proposed, which takes advantage of the linearity of the problem, and consists in controlling the approximation error ∥u−uh∥L2 by an expression of the form −2, where u is the exact solution, g is a particular smooth function, and μh, νh are some linear forms depending on the approximate solution uh.
