โฆ Synopsis
Following Synge, the covariant formulas for the total four-momentum and angular momentum of an isolated physical system in general relativity are derived. These formulas are first obtained in the weak-field approximation, for which they are shown to be expressible in surface integral form, to be unique, and to represent covariantly conserved quantities. The covariant expressions for the general case are then shown to be identical to those for the weak-field case. The uniquely determined and covariantly conserved quantities so obtained are found to agree with the corresponding canonical, nonwvariant surface integral expressions.

We analyze the structure of the general solution of the Riemann problem for a strictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws whose characteristic fields are neither genuinely non-linear nor linearly degenerate in the sense of Lax.
This paper proposes a multiresolution procedure adapted to triangular cell-averages to improve the performance of finite volume schemes by reducing flux evaluation cost, using the approach introduced by A. Harten. A specific coarse-to-fine prediction scheme is proposed that ensures the stability of
In this paper, a class of essentially conservative scheme are constructed and analyzed. The numerical tests and theoretical analysis show that although these schemes can not be written in the usual conservation form, but the numerical solutions obtained with these schemes can converge, as the mesh s
