TITLE	Central schemes for systems of non-local balance laws
AUTHORS	Sanjibanee Sudha, Jan Friedrich, Samala Rathan
ABSTRACT	We present numerical approaches to approximate the solutions of systems of non-local balance laws. In particular, we derive a non-staggered central scheme based on the well-known Nessyahu-Tadmor scheme and show that it preserves the positivity of solutions. To reduce the numerical diffusion, we then consider a non-local version of the Kurganov-Tadmor scheme. For both schemes, an appropriate approximation of the non-local term is crucial to maintain a second-order accuracy. Numerical examples validate our theory and demonstrate its applicability to various systems of non-local problems.
