Abstract
The positivity principle and positive schemes to solve multidimensiona l hyperbolic systems of conservation laws have been introduced in [X.- D. Liu and P.D. Lax, J. Fluid Dynam., 5 (1996), pp. 133-156. Some nume rical experiments presented there show how well the method works. In t his paper we use positive schemes to solve Riemann problems for two-di mensional gas dynamics.
