Résumé
This paper deals with the diffusive limit of the Jin and Xin model and its approximation by an asymptotic preserving finite volume scheme. At the continuous level, we determine a convergence rate to the diffusive limit by means of a relative entropy method. Considering a semi-discrete approxi- mation (discrete in space and continuous in time), we adapt the method to this semi-discrete framework and establish that the approximated solutions converge towards the discrete convection-diffusion limit with the same convergence rate.
