In this paper, we adapt a simple weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) limiter, originally designed for discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes, to the correction procedure via reconstruction (CPR) framework for solving conservation laws. The objective of this simple WENO limiter is to simultaneously maintain uniform high order accuracy of the CPR framework in smooth regions and control spurious numerical oscillations near discontinuities. The WENO limiter we adopt in this paper is particularly simple to implement and will not harm the conservativeness of the CPR framework. Also, it uses information only from the target cell and its immediate neighbors, thus can maintain the compactness of the CPR framework. Since the CPR framework with the WENO limiter does not in general preserve positivity of the solution, we also extend the positivity preserving limiters to the CPR framework. Numerical results in one and two dimensions are provided to illustrate the good behavior of this procedure.

We consider the Cauchy problem for a second order weakly hyperbolic equation, with coefficients depending only on the time variable. We prove that if the coefficients of the equation belong to the Gevrey class $\gamma^{s_{0}}$ and the Cauchy data belong to $\gamma^{s_{1}}$ , then the Cauchy problem has a solution in $\gamma^{s_{0}}([0,T^{*}];\gamma^{s_{1}}(\mathbb{R}))$ for some$T$^{*}>0, provided 1≤$s$_{1}≤2−1/$s$_{0}. If the equation is strictly hyperbolic, we may replace the previous condition by 1≤$s$_{1}≤$s$_{0}.
