contents The Active Flux (AF) method is a compact, high-order finite volume scheme that enhances flexibility by introducing point values at cell interfaces as additional degrees of freedom alongside cell averages. The method of lines is employed here for temporal discretization. A common approach for updating point values relies on the Jacobian Splitting (JS) method, which incorporates upwinding. A key advantage of the AF method over standard finite volume schemes is its structure-preserving property, motivating the investigation of its asymptotic-preserving (AP) behavior in the diffusive scaling. We show that the JS-based AF method without any modification is AP for solving the hyperbolic heat equation, in the sense that the limit scheme is a discretization of the limit heat equation. We use formal asymptotic analysis, discrete Fourier analysis, and numerical experiments to illustrate our findings.
