Applications of limiters, neural networks and polynomial annihilation in higher-order FD/FV schemes

Abstract

The construction of high-order structure-preserving numerical schemes to solve hyperbolic conservation laws has attracted a lot of attention in the last decades and various different ansatzes exist. In this paper, we compare several completely different approaches, i.e. deep neural networks, limiters and the application of polynomial annihilation to construct high-order accurate shock capturing finite difference/volume (FD/FV) schemes. We further analyze their analytical and numerical properties. We demonstrate that all techniques can be used and yield highly efficient FD/FV methods but also come with some additional drawbacks which we point out. Our investigation of the different strategies should lead to a better understanding of those techniques and can be transferred to other numerical methods as well which use similar ideas.
