Numerical methods for conservation laws with rough flux

Numerical Analysis 2018-02-05 v1

Abstract

Finite volume methods are proposed for computing approximate pathwise entropy/kinetic solutions to conservation laws with a rough path dependent flux function. For a convex flux, it is demonstrated that rough path oscillations may lead to "cancellations" in the solution. Making use of this property, we show that for α\alpha-H{\"o}lder continuous rough paths the convergence rate of the numerical methods can improve from O(COSTγ)\mathcal{O}(\text{COST}^{-\gamma}), for some γ[α/(128α),α/(106α)]\gamma \in \left[\alpha/(12-8\alpha), \alpha/(10-6\alpha)\right], with α(0,1)\alpha\in (0, 1), to O(COSTmin(1/4,α/2))\mathcal{O}(\text{COST}^{-\min(1/4,\alpha/2)}). Numerical examples support the theoretical results.
