Abstract

The monotonicity and stability of a finite difference scheme with respect to initial data in the supremum norm are analyzed as applied to the polytropic gas equations written in terms of Rie-mann invariants for subsonic flows with 1 < γ < 3. Conditions on the initial and boundary data are obtained under which subsonic flows with no shock waves develop in the medium. The theoretical conclusions are supported by numerical results.
