- Abstract
- This dissertation presents two topics on numerical solutions solving hyperbolic equations from both theoretical and practical points of view.
In the first part, we introduce a definition of the local conservation property for numerical methods
solving time dependent conservation laws, which generalizes the classical local conservation
definition. The motivation of our definition is the Lax-Wendroff theorem, and thus we prove it
for locally conservative numerical schemes per our definition in one and two space dimensions.
Several numerical methods, including continuous Galerkin methods and compact schemes,
which do not fit the classical local conservation definition,
are given as examples of locally conservative methods under our generalized definition.
In the second part, we develop and analyze non-dissipative
discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for solving the Maxwell's equations
in Drude metamaterials.
Our method achieves provable non-dissipative stability and optimal error
estimates simultaneously on rectangular meshes.
However, on triangular meshes, the DG schemes only have suboptimal convergence rate.
We present extensive numerical results with convergence consistent of our error estimate, and simulations of wave propagation in Drude metamaterials to demonstrate the flexibility of triangular meshes.
