SISC, 23, 21, pp ( kurganov). Central schemes (eg. Lax-Friedrichs scheme): avoid solving RP by integrating over local Riemann fans (at cell interface). Second-order staggered Nessyahu-Tadmor scheme (199), later extended to higher orders and to multi-d. Kurganov & Tadmor, 1999: nonstaggered central schemes, with lower dissipation, simple semi-discrete form. New, central-upwind schemes: more accurate estimate of size of Riemann fans and more accurate projection step.
