Abstract: A scheme is hroposed for solving hyperboilc conservation laws by the Taylor-Galerkin finite element method. The scheme is obtained by discretizing hyperbolic conservation laws related to the Hamilton-Jacobi's equations. The scheme satisfies the TVD properties under the isometry meshes by modifying the numerical flux, whose idea is from the difference scheme construction. Numerical examples are given.

Key words: hyperbolic conservation laws, Hamilton-Jacobi equations, Taylor-Galerkin finite element method
