The local projection $$P^ 0-P^ 1$$-discontinuous-Galerkin finite element method for scalar conservation laws. (English) Zbl 0715.65079
The local projection $$P^ 0-P^ 1$$-discontinuous Galerkin finite element method $$(\Lambda \Pi P^ 0P^ 1$$-scheme) is used for solving numerically scalar conservation laws. The method is obtained modifying an explicit discontinuous Galerkin method introduced via a local projection. The resulting scheme is an extension of the Godunov scheme that verifies a local maximum principle. Numerical evidence is given.
