1. Introduction<br />
We consider numerical solving the hyperbolic equation<br />
∂r ∂(<br />
ur)<br />
+ = 0, ( tx , ) ∈D,<br />
∂t ∂x<br />
equipped with suitable initial condition for known velocity coefficient u(t, x).<br />
Among the successful numerical methods for solving this equation we mention such nonoscillatory conservative finite difference<br />
shemes as TVD (total variation diminishing), TVB (total variation bounded), and ENO (essentially nonoscillatory)<br />
ones (see, for example, [1]–[14] and the reference there).<br />
In order to highlight the essential ingredients of suggested approach we begin with one-dimensional problem, keeping in<br />
mind that we shall extend these methods in subsequent papers. Moreover, for simplification we take periodic data to avoid a<br />
description complication for inessential issues connected with boundary-value conditions.<br />
2. The statement of problem and the main theorem<br />
Thus, in the rectangle ( tx , ) ∈ D= [0, T]<br />
× [0, 1) consider equation<br />
∂r ∂(<br />
ur)<br />
+ = 0, ( tx , ) ∈D,<br />
∂t ∂x<br />
with initial condition<br />
r(0, x) = r ( x), x∈<br />
[0,1).<br />

init<br />
Coefficient xtu ),( is given at D and functions r init and u are supposed periodical in x with period 1 and are smooth<br />
enough for further considerations.<br />
One of difficulties in solving (1)–(2) is that solution may contain discontinuities even for smooth data. But we start our<br />
considerations for the case of smooth solution.<br />
Let us take two time lines tk, tk-1[0, T]<br />
∈ with tk - tk-1= t > 0 and two nodes ( tk, x1), ( tk, x2) with points x1, x2∈[0 th points x1, x2∈ [0,1], x1 < x2<br />
(see Fig.1).<br />
For both these nodes we construct the characteristics x (t), i =1, 2, i of equation (1) at segment t∈ [ tk-1, tk]<br />
[16, 17].<br />
They satisfy the ordinary differential equation with different initial values:<br />
