| Veerappa Gowda G. D., Raja Ramanna Fellow, TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics, Bengaluru  | 
5 lectures of 1 and half hrs each  | 
Non-linear hyperbolic conservation laws: Concept of weak solutions, entropy condition and uniqueness of the solution. Construction of Go- dunov, Lax-Friedrichs, Engquist-Osher and Lax-Wendroff schemes. Lax- Wendroff theorem for convergence of the numerical solution. Finite volume schemes. Monotone schemes: L1 stability, total variation diminishing prop- erty and their convergence to the entropy solution. Higher order schemes. Finite volume schemes in higher dimensions. | 
| Praveen Chandrasekhar, Associate Professor, TIFR-Centre for Ap- plicable Mathematics, Bengaluru  | 
5 lectures of 1 and half hrs each  | 
Discontinuous Galerkin method for PDEs: The lectures will provide an introduction to DG methods starting with 1-D problems. The topics cov- ered include: numerical flux, semi-discrete stability, basis functions, imple- mentation details, limiters and TVD property, and, Fourier stability analy- sis. Then we will discuss DG for hyperbolic systems, multi-dimensional scheme, modal and nodal versions, special versions like flux reconstruc- tion, etc. The lectures will be complemented with examples of computer codes implementing these methods.  |
