Abstract

For the case of approximation of convection--diffusion equations using\npiecewise affine continuous finite elements a new edge-based nonlinear\ndiffusion operator is proposed that makes the scheme satisfy a discrete maximum\nprinciple. The diffusion operator is shown to be Lipschitz continuous and\nlinearity preserving. Using these properties we provide a full stability and\nerror analysis, which, in the diffusion dominated regime, shows existence,\nuniqueness and optimal convergence. Then the algebraic flux correction method\nis recalled and we show that the present method can be interpreted as an\nalgebraic flux correction method for a particular definition of the flux\nlimiters. The performance of the method is illustrated on some numerical test\ncases in two space dimensions.\n
