Abstract

Finding efficient representations is one of the most challenging and heavily sought problems in mathematics. Representation using shearlets recently receives a lot of attention due to their desirable properties in both theory and applications. Using the framework of frequency-based affine systems, in this paper we introduce and systematically study affine shear tight frames which include all known shearlet tight frames as special cases. Our results in this paper will resolve several key questions on shearlets. We provide a complete characterization for an affine shear tight frame and then use it to obtain smooth affine shear tight frames with all their generators in the Schwarz class. Though multiresolution analysis (MRA) is the foundation and key feature of wavelet analysis for fast numerical implementation of a wavelet transform, all the known shearlets so far do not possess any MRA structure and filter banks. In order to study affine shear tight frames with MRA structure, we introduce the notion of a sequence of affine shear tight frames and then we provide a complete characterization for it. Based on our characterizations, we present two different approaches, i.e., non-stationary and quasi-stationary, for the construction of sequences of affine shear tight frames with MRA structure such that all their generators are smooth (in the Schwarz class) and they have underlying filter banks. Consequently, their associated transforms can be efficiently implemented using filter banks similarly as a fast wavelet transform does.

Fully spectral scheme for the linear BGK equation on the whole space

In this article, we design a fully spectral method in both space and velocity for a linear inhomogeneous kinetic equation with mass, momentum and energy conservation. We focus on the linear BGK equation with a confinement potential $Φ$, even if the method could be applied to different collision operators. It is based upon the projection on Hermite polynomials in velocity and orthonormal polynomials with respect to the weight $e^{-$Φ$}$ in space. The potential $Φ$ is assumed to be a polynomial. It is, to the author's knowledge, the first scheme which preserves hypocoercive behavior in addition to the conservation laws. These different properties are illustrated numerically on both quadratic and double well potential.

Inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation on bounded domains and Riemannian manifolds

This paper establishes inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation spaces defined on bounded Lipschitz domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and compact Riemannian manifolds. While inverse inequalities are well-studied for polynomial spaces, their extension to kernel-based trial spaces poses significant challenges. For bounded Lipschitz domains, we extend prior Bernstein inequalities, which only apply to a limited range of Sobolev orders, to the full range of lower and upper orders, and derive Nikolskii inequalities that bound $L_\infty$ norms by $L_2$ norms. For compact Riemannian manifolds, we focus on restricted kernels, which are defined as the restriction of positive definite kernels from the ambient Euclidean space to the manifold, and prove their counterparts.

Error Estimates for Hyperbolic Scaling Limits of Linear Kinetic Models on Networks

This paper studies linear discrete kinetic models on networks and their asymptotic behavior in the small Knudsen number limit. For coupling conditions at an n-edge junction under a symmetric formulation, we introduce a change of variables that reformulates the system into n independent initial-boundary value problems. The asymptotic expansions are then constructed and rigorously justified by deriving an error estimate based on the energy method.
