Abstract
The entropy convergence of a class of fully-discrete $\alpha$ schemes is shown for scalar convex conservation laws in one dimension. These schemes were constructed by S. Osher and S. Chakravarthy in the mid-1980s [1, 12]. When $m = 2$, this class of schemes includes, for different values of $\alpha$, high accuracy (low truncation error) second-order schemes, the conventional second-order accurate upwind total variation diminishing (TVD) scheme and even a third-order accurate TVD scheme. The proof of the entropy consistence is accomplished by using Yang’s wavewise entropy inequality (WEI) framework [17]. The convergence of semi-discrete version of $\alpha$ schemes was proven in a companion paper [6].
