Definition of asymptotic-preserving scheme. Let us denote Mǫ the initial model M0 the limit model Sǫ
∆t,∆x the proposed numerical scheme
S0
∆t,∆x the limit numerical scheme
With little abuse in the notations, Sǫ is said to be asymptotic-preserving if for all ǫ > 0, Sǫ
∆t,∆x is stable1 and consistent with Mǫ : lim∆t,∆x→0 Sǫ ∆t,∆x = Mǫ
S0
∆t,∆x is stable and consistent with M0 : lim∆t,∆x→0 S0 ∆t,∆x = M0
In other words, asymptotic-preserving property means order of limits interchange property lim
