I am interested in problems of the form $$ u_t = F(u) + S(u) $$ where $F(u) = - div(f(u))$ and $S(u)$ is a stiff source term. I am looking for any existing works which develop Lax-Wendroff type schemes for such stiff problems using an IMEX approach to deal with stiff source. So far my search has yielded nothing more than Crank-Nicholson for the source [1] which is not good for stiff case. Is there any fundamental difficulty in constructing Lax-Wendroff schemes which are L-stable ?
The LW schemes I am looking at are of the form as used in [2]. Perhaps LW is not a good name, they seem to be called two-derivative schemes. At second order, they are basically an LW scheme.
