Abstract

Integral transformations are used to estimate high order derivatives of various special functions. Applications are given to numerical integration, where estimates of high order derivatives of the integrand are needed to achieve bounds on the error. The main idea is to find a suitable integral representation of the function whose derivatives are to be estimated, differentiate repeatedly under the integral sign, and estimate the resulting integral.

Symmetric two-level preconditioning for the method of reflections

We develop and analyze a symmetric two-level preconditioner for the method of reflections for Laplace problems in perforated domains. Using constant boundary modes, we define a coarse correction through a symmetric coercive dual formulation. Combining this coarse correction with parallel reflection corrections gives a symmetric positive definite preconditioner for solving the dual system by the conjugate gradient method. Under a geometric separation condition, we prove a condition number bound independent of the number and sizes of the holes and the diameter of the ambient domain. We also derive geometry-dependent convergence estimates for the one-level methods that explain the need for a coarse correction.

Convergence of Least Squares Methods for PDEs on R^d with Shallow ReLU^k Networks

We establish inverse inequalities in Gaussian Sobolev norms for shallow $\mathrm{ReLU}^k$ trial spaces. The estimates identify the sharp regularity threshold and quantify the dependence on parameter separation and bias magnitude. Based on these estimates, we prove convergence of weighted least squares discretizations of linear PDEs on $\mathbb R^d$ using shallow networks with prescribed inner parameters and finitely many residual samples in an expanding ball. Under suitable stability and regularity assumptions, we obtain an error bound of order $h^{k+(d+1)/2-r}δ_\pm^{-(S-r)}$ in the Gaussian Sobolev norm of order $S$, up to logarithmic factors, where $r$ is the PDE order, $h$ is the parameter fill distance, and $δ_\pm$ is the antipodal separation. The convergence results cover deterministic and random sampling and extend to fixed bounded regions by restriction. We construct parameter sets with $δ_\pm\asymp h$, yielding a convergence rate in terms of the network width that matches a lower bound up to logarithmic factors. Numerical experiments support the theoretical results and provide practical guidance on balancing accuracy and stability.

Memory-Augmented Phase-Field Modeling: Onsager Formulation, Internal-Variable Lifting, and Structure-Preserving Computation

In this work, we develop a general memory-augmented phase-field (MAPF) framework based on Onsager's variational principle, in which memory effects are incorporated through a general relaxation kernel while preserving the thermodynamic consistency of the underlying system. Rather than treating fractional models as fundamental formulations, we show that they can be interpreted as reduced descriptions associated with specific power-law memory kernels. The proposed MAPF equations provide a unified modeling framework for non-Markovian phase-field dynamics. To facilitate analysis and computation, we further introduce an equivalent internal-variable representation that transforms the original nonlocal-in-time dynamics into an extended Markovian gradient system. This formulation preserves key structural properties, including energy dissipation and mass conservation, and enables the development of efficient structure-preserving numerical schemes. In particular, we construct an energy-stable scalar auxiliary variable approach combined with a fast rank-one implementation that exploits the relaxation-spectrum-induced coupling structure, resulting in a computationally efficient algorithm with reduced storage requirements. The proposed framework establishes a systematic connection between memory-dependent phase-field modeling, internal-variable thermodynamics, and structure-preserving numerical computation. Numerical experiments demonstrate the accuracy, stability, and efficiency of the proposed methods for phase-field dynamics with long-time memory effects.
