Geometric quasilinearization framework for analysis and design of bound-preserving schemes

    This paper proposes a general approach---Geometric Quasi-Linearization (GQL), motivated by our previous bound-preserving works on MHD and RHD systems.  GQL equivalently transforms nonlinear constraints into linear ones, through properly introducing free auxiliary variables, i.e., it uses extra auxiliary variables in exchange for linearity.
