Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 31, No. 140 (Oct., 1977), pp. 848-872 (25 pages) A family of difference schemes solving the Cauchy problem for quasi-linear equations is studied. This family contains ...

Consider a scalar, nonlinear conservative difference scheme satisfying the entropy condition. It is shown that difference schemes containing more numerical viscosity will necessarily converge to the ...

For a technical scientific term, entropy is pretty popular. I mean, it was the title of an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, after all. Search the Internet for “entropy” quotes and you’ll find them ...

In science, most breakthroughs cannot be derived from known physical laws: they are based on inspired conjectures 2. Comparison with experiment of the predictions based on such a hypothesis allows us ...
