Convergence of time-space adaptive algorithms for nonlinear conservation laws

International audienceA family of explicit adaptive algorithms is designed to solve nonlinear scalar one-dimensional conservation laws. Based on the Godunov scheme on a uniform grid, a first strategy uses the multiresolution analysis of the solution to design an adaptive grid that evolves in time according to the time-dependent local smoothness. The method is furthermore enhanced by a local time-stepping strategy. Both numerical schemes are shown to converge towards the unique entropy solution
