Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new class of second-order one-step time-splitting schemes for scalar and systems of conservation laws. The strategy is based on a relaxation approximation which consists in introducing a relaxation system with linearly degenerate characteristic fields to approximate the original system and deal with its nonlinearities. The numerical schemes are based on the use of arbitrarily high-order approximations of the underlying linear advection equations. Numerical evidence is proposed to illustrate the behaviour of our schemes.
