In numerical analysis and computational fluid dynamics, Godunov's theorem — also known as Godunov's order barrier theorem — is a mathematical theorem important in the development of the theory of high resolution schemes for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. The theorem states that: :''Linear numerical schemes for solving partial differential equations (PDE's), having the property of not generating new extrema (monotone scheme), can be at most first-order accurate.'' Professor Sergei K. Godunov originally proved the theorem as a Ph.D. student at Moscow State University. It is his most influential work in the area of applied and numerical mathematics and has had a major impact on science and engineering, particularly in the development of methods used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and other computational fields. One of his major contributions was to prove the theorem (Godunov, 1954; Godunov, 1959), that bears his name. ==The theorem== We generally follow Wesseling (2001). Aside Assume a continuum problem described by a PDE is to be computed using a numerical scheme based upon a uniform computational grid and a one-step, constant step-size, ''M'' grid point, integration algorithm, either implicit or explicit. Then if and , such a scheme can be described by : In other words, the solution at time and location is a linear function of the solution at the previous time step . We assume that determines uniquely. Now, since the above equation represents a linear relationship between and we can perform a linear transformation to obtain the following equivalent form, : Theorem 1: ''Monotonicity preserving'' The above scheme of equation (2) is monotonicity preserving if and only if : ''Proof'' - Godunov (1959) Case 1: (sufficient condition) Assume (3) applies and that is monotonically increasing with . Then, because it therefore follows that because : This means that monotonicity is preserved for this case. Case 2: (necessary condition) We prove the necessary condition by contradiction.
