Applying the Checkpointing Routine treeverse to Discretizations of Burgers’ Equation*

We consider the inviscid Burgers’ equation augmented by a control term and its adjoint equation. For several discretization schemes of the inviscid Burgers’ equation the adjoint finite difference methods are derived. Applying these discretization methods and the checkpointing routine treeverse, approximations of the solution of both differential equations are calculated and compared.
