The main technical difficulty lies in the control of the inter-element jump terms which arise because of the convection and the discontinuous nature of numerical solutions. The main idea is to use some global projections satisfying interface conditions dictated by the choice of numerical fluxes so that trouble terms at the cell interfaces are eliminated or controlled. In multi-dimensional case, the orders of <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="k plus 1"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">k+1</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> hinge on a superconvergence estimate when tensor product polynomials of degree <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="k"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">k</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> are used on Cartesian grids. A collection of projection errors in both one- and multi-dimensional cases is established.
