WENO methods

In numerical solution of differential equations, WENO methods are classes of high-resolution schemes. WENO are used in the numerical solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations. These methods were developed from ENO methods. The first WENO scheme was developed by Liu, Osher and Chan in 1994. In 1996, Guang-Shan Jiang and Chi-Wang Shu developed a new WENO scheme called WENO-JS. Nowadays, there are many WENO methods.

In numerical solution of differential equations, WENO (weighted essentially non-oscillatory) methods are classes of high-resolution schemes. WENO are used in the numerical solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations. These methods were developed from ENO methods (essentially non-oscillatory). The first WENO scheme was developed by Liu, Osher and Chan in 1994.1 In 1996, Guang-Shan Jiang and Chi-Wang Shu developed a new WENO scheme2 called WENO-JS.3 Nowadays, there are many WENO methods.4
