Zusammenfassung:In this paper the Lax-Wendroff procedure is extended to the scalar case of a two-dimensional hyperbolic conservation law. Explicit third and fourth order accuracy finite-difference operators are constructed for solving quasi-linear initial value problems. Stability conditions are obtained and are used in numerical computations. The computational results which are presented demonstrate that large amounts of computing time and memory space are saved without loss of accuracy. (Author)
