Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The modified (model, equivalent) equation is an important tool in designing and analyzing nonlinear difference schemes. In this note, the validity of this principle is rigorously established for nonlinear shock wave solutions and the upwind scheme in a particular case.
