For hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension endowed with a mathematical entropy, we define the notion of entropy velocity and we give sufficient conditions for such a system to be covariant under the action of a group of space-time transformations. These conditions naturally introduce a representation of the group in the space of states. We construct such hyperbolic systems from the knowledge of data on the manifold of null velocity. We apply these ideas for Galileo, Lorentz, and circular groups and, in particular, focus on nontrivial examples of [Formula: see text] systems of conservation laws.

It has been conjectured that higher-order discretizations for partial differential equations will have advantages over the lower-order counterparts commonly used today. The reasoning is that the increase in arithmetic operations will be more than offset by the reduction in data transfers and the increase in concurrent floating-point units. To evaluate this conjecture, the arithmetic intensity of a class of high-order finite-volume discretizations for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws is theoretically analyzed for spatial discretizations from orders three through eight in arbitrary dimensions. Three cache models are considered: the limiting cases of no cache and infinite cache as well as a finite-sized cache model. Models are validated experimentally by measuring floating-point operations and data transfers on an IBM Blue Gene/Q node. Theory and experiments demonstrate that high-order finite-volume methods will be able to provide increases in arithmetic intensity that will be necessary to make better utilization of on-node floating-point capability.
