THE FULLY IMPLICIT DIFFERENCE METHODS FOR A STIFF SYSTEM OF CONSERVATION LAWS
一个刚性守恒律方程组的全隐式差分方法

This paper is interested in a system of conservation laws with a stiff relaxation term arised in viscoelasticity. The properties of a class of fully implicit finite difference methods approximating this system are analyzed, which include maximum principles, bounds on the total variation, Ll-bounds, and L1-continuity estimates in term of some conserved physical quantity and this characteristic variables generated by difference schemes with proper initial data. These estimates are necessary for the existence of a bounded-total variation (BV) solution. Furthermore, we show that numerical entropy inequalities for some convex entropy pairs of the fully system hold.
