Summary: The Nessyahu-Tadmor [H. Nessyahu and E. Tadmor, J. Comput. Phys. 87, No. 2, 408–463 (1990; Zbl 0697.65068)] scheme is a simple yet robust second-order non-oscillatory scheme, which relies on a piecewise linear reconstruction. A typical reconstruction choice is based on the standard minmod limiter. This choice gives a maximum principle for the scheme. However, it reduces the reconstruction to first order at local extrema. In this paper, we show that a maximum principle is still valid for second-order schemes when a new MAPR-like limiter is used, see [I. Christov and B. Popov, ibid. 227, No. 11, 5736–5757 (2008; Zbl 1151.65068)]. To prove this result, we require that the flux is \(k\)-monotone. We also show that the maximum principle implies the usual total variation diminishing bound.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1255.35002].
