For a Lagrangian scheme solving the compressible Euler equations in cylindrical coordinates, two important issues are whether the scheme can maintain spherical symmetry (symmetry-preserving) and whether the scheme can maintain positivity of density and internal energy (positivity-preserving). While there were previous results in the literature either for symmetry-preserving in the cylindrical coordinates or for positivity-preserving in cartesian coordinates, the design of a Lagrangian scheme in cylindrical coordinates, which is high order in one-dimension and second order in two-dimensions, and can maintain both spherical symmetry-preservation and positivity-preservation simultaneously, is challenging. In this paper we design such a Lagrangian scheme and provide numerical results to demonstrate its good behavior.

In this paper, we develop, analyze and test the Fourier spectral methods for solving the Degasperis-Procesi(DP) equation which contains nonlinear high order derivatives, and possibly discontinuous or sharp transition solutions. The $L^2$ stability is obtained for general numerical solutions of the Fourier Galerkin method and Fourier collocation (pseudospectral) method.By applying the Gegenbauer reconstruction technique as a post-processing method to the Fourier spectral solution, we reduce the oscillations arising from the discontinuity successfully. The numerical simulation results for different types of solutions of the nonlinear Degasperis-Procesi equation are provided to illustrate the accuracy and capability of the methods.
