    0 references
    The authors consider a \(L^2\)-norm least squares principle for a scalar hyperbolic problem.Optimal errors with zero gap typically arise in the context of elliptic equations, while finite element methods for hyperbolic problems tend to produce approximations with a positive gap [see \textit{C. Johnson, U. Nävert} and \textit{J. Pitkäranta}, Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engineering 45, 285-312 (1984; Zbl 0537.76060)]. For rectangular domains and constant advection in one of the coordinate directions,the authors are able to improve the gap of the least squares method to 2/3.
