A positivity-preserving second-order scheme for multi-dimensional systems of nonlocal conservation laws
摘要
We present a second-order numerical method for a class of nonlocal systems of conservation laws in multiple space dimensions. The proposed scheme employs a second-order accurate spatial reconstruction coupled with an appropriate time discretization. The presence of nonlocal terms and the complexity of accurately incorporating them into the numerical scheme make the problem intricate, both analytically and computationally, which we address through a carefully designed discretization strategy. As an essential contribution of this work, we analytically prove that the resulting scheme is positivity-preserving, a crucial property for ensuring the physical validity of quantities such as density, which must remain nonnegative. In addition, we prove that the scheme is
