Abstract

In the paper, a fully discrete characteristic finite volume element method is introduced and analyzed for approximating the solution of a nonlinear-hyperbolic equation in 2-space variables. Piecewise quadratic trial functions and piecewise constant test functions are used to finally obtain error estimate O(Δt + h2). A numerical experiment is given which showed the method is practicable.
