      One of versions of a new maximum principle base monotonizer is considered. This is used to monotonize solution to difference equations generated by explicit schemes of a high (second and higher) order of accuracy which approximate the equation of transport with a constant coefficient.
      In [1] by monotone difference schemes for the equation of heat conduction were called the schemes satisfying the maximum principle. A similar definition was used in [2,3] for the system of the equation of radiation transport and the equation of energy. This work is further development of the approach from [4] to solution monotonization.
      The essence of the approach proposed consists in the fact that the flows computed at the stage of predictor for the scheme of a high accuracy order secure meeting the maximum principle, namely: u_min ≤ u^j ≤ u_max. Here u_min and u_max are local minimum and maximum of the numerical solution at the time t the vicinity of the point x_j, u_j the numerical solution at the time t_n + τ at the point x_j. When this inequality is violated then the flows are computed from the equation written on the basis of this inequality for the left or right boundary by substitution of u_j with, the expression from the initial difference equation.
      The monotonizer basing on the schemes from [5,6] was used to obtain monotone schemes of the second, third and fourth order of accuracy which are higher than the first-order on the whole and produce numerical solutions of rather a low diffusion as compared to the explicit monotone scheme of the first order of accuracy which is substantiated with the results of numerical solution of various model problems.
