Abstract

We develop a CFL-free, explicit characteristic interior penalty scheme (CHIPS) for one-dimensional first-order advection-reaction equations by combining a Eulerian-Lagrangian approach with a discontinuous Galerkin framework. The CHIPS method retains the numerical advantages of the discontinuous Galerkin methods as well as characteristic methods. An optimal-order error estimate in the L2 norm for the CHIPS method is derived and numerical experiments are presented to confirm the theoretical estimates.
