  • Abstract

We study the $L^1$-error estimates for the upwind scheme to the linear advection equations with a piecewise constant coefficients modeling linear waves crossing interfaces. Here the interface condition is immersed into the upwind scheme. We prove that, for initial data with a bounded variation, the numerical solution of the immersed interface upwind scheme converges in $L^1$-norm to the differential equation with the corresponding interface condition. We derive the one-halfth order $L^1$-error bounds with explicit coefficients following a technique used in [25]. We also use some inequalities on binomial coefficients proved in a consecutive paper [32].
