“…Using the staggered mesh, one gets in 1 space dimensions the finite difference scheme (3.20)-(3.22) without the vector H; it is then stable provided that Xp(/1) ^ f. In the 2 space dimension case, we obtain the sufficient condition of Xpm;ix ¿¡ \. The scheme proposed by Rousanov [10] is also essentially the one given by Eqs. Had we chosen to also develop explicitly the finite difference schemes which are implied by Theorem 2 (i.e., utilize the coefficient matrices A, as well as the conservation vectors F¡), then we immediately get, for the 2nd order case, the Lax-Wendroff scheme [6] and, for the 3rd order case, a scheme considered earlier by the present authors (unpublished).…”
