A converging finite volume scheme for hyperbolic conservation laws with source terms

In this paper we study convergence of numerical discretizations of hyperbolic nonhomogeneous scalar conservation laws. Particular attention is devoted to point source problems. Standard numerical methods, obtained by a direct discretization of the differential form, fail to converge, even in the linear case. We consider the equation in integral form in order to construct a class of convergent accurate methods. Numerical examples are included.
