Flux Limiter adopting a flux limiter function verifying the TVD
condition TV (U n+1 ) ≤ TV (U n+1 ). An alternative way to
New family of
Flux Limiter avoid the TVD property with the addition of monotonic
functions
solution is consider a local property, that coincide with TVD
in some part, but also enough to construct the flux limiter
function. In order to achieve this result we introduce the
minmax property as follow

min n
ui+k ≤ uin+1 ≤ max n
ui+k . (3)
k ∈{−1,0,1} k ∈{−1,0,1}

different flux limiter functions depending of what property we
