It is well known that Forward Time and Centred in Space (FTCS) scheme for scalar Hyperbolic Conservation Law (HCL) is unconditionally unstable. The main contribution of this work to show that FTCS is conditionally stable for HCL. A new approach is used to give bounds on the initial data profile by transforming FTCS into two point convex combination scheme. Numerical results are given in support of the claim.

The main aim of this work is not to improve any existing non-linear weight but to give a generalized framework for the construction of non-linear weights to get non-oscillatory third order WENO schemes. It is done by imposing necessary conditions on weights to get non-oscillatory WENO reconstruction which give further insight on the structure of weights to ensure non-occurrence of oscillations and characterize the solution region for third order accuracy. This framework for WENO weights is new and completely different from the prevailing existing approach. New non-linear weights are designed using a function of smoothness parameter termed as weight limiter functions. Many such weight limiter functions are given and analyzed. These new weights are simple and by construction guarantee for exact third order accuracy in smooth solution region including smooth extrema away from critical point. Numerical results for various test problems are given and compared. Results show that proposed weights give third order accuracy without loosing the non-oscillatory shock capturing ability of the resulting scheme.

The main contribution of this work is to construct higher than second order accurate total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes which can preserve high accuracy at non-sonic extrema with out induced local oscillations. It is done in the framework of local maximum principle (LMP) and non-conservative formulation. The representative uniformly second order accurate schemes are converted in to their non-conservative form using the ratio of consecutive gradient. These resulting schemes are analyzed for their non-linear LMP/TVD stability bounds using the local maximum principle. Based on the bounds, second order accurate hybrid numerical schemes are constructed using a shock detector. Numerical results are presented to show that such hybrid schemes yield TVD approximation with second or higher order convergence rate for smooth solution with extrema.

A novel procedure is given for choosing smoothest stencil to construct less oscillatory ENO schemes. The procedure is further used to define smoothness parameter in the non-linear weights of new WENO schemes. The main significant features of these new ENO and WENO schemes is that they are less oscillatory and achieve their relevant order of accuracy in the presence of critical points in the exact solution. It is shown theoretically as well as computationally in $L^1$ and $L^\infty$ norm. Moreover, computational results are given to show less oscillatory behavior of the new WENO scheme compared to WENO5-JS and WENO5-Z schemes.

In this note we show that it is impossible to have data independent non-oscillatory three point finite difference scheme irrespective of its accuracy for a scalar hyperbolic initial value problem.
