Abstract:
We consider linear schemes with several degrees of freedom (DOFs) for the transport equation with a constant coefficient. The Fourier transform decomposes the scheme into a number of finite systems of ODEs, the number of equations in each system being equal to the number of DOFs. The matrix of these systems is an analytical function of the wave vector. Generally such a matrix is not diagonalizable and, if it is, the diagonal form can be non-smooth. We show that in a 1D case for $L_2$-stable schemes the matrix can be locally transformed to a block-diagonal form preserving the analytical dependence on the wave number.
