High-order accurate weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) schemes have recently been developed for finite difference and finite volume methods both in structured and in unstructured meshes. A key idea in WENO scheme is a linear combination of lower order fluxes or reconstructions to obtain a higher order approximation. The combination coefficients, also called linear weights, are determined by local geometry of the mesh and order of accuracy and may become negative, such as in the central WENO schemes using staggered meshes, high-order finite volume WENO schemes in two space dimensions, and finite difference WENO approximations for second derivatives. WENO, procedures cannot be applied directly to obtain a stable scheme if negative linear weights are present. The previous strategy for handling this difficulty is either by regrouping of stencils or by reducing the order of accuracy to get rid of the negative linear weights. In this paper we present a simple and effective technique for handling negative linear weights without a need to get rid of them. Test cases are shown to illustrate the stability and accuracy of this approach. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science.
