Abstract

In the frame of the traditional wavelet-Galerkin method based on the compactly supported wavelets, it is important to calculate the so-called connection coefficients that are some integrals whose integrands involve products of wavelets, their derivatives as well as some known coefficients in considered differential equations. However, even for linear differential equations with non-constant coefficient, the computation of connect coefficients becomes rather time-consuming and often even impossible. In this paper, we propose a generalized wavelet-Galerkin method based on the compactly supported wavelets, which is computationally very efficient even for differential equations with non-constant coefficients, no matter linear or nonlinear problems. Some related mathematical theorems are proved, based on which the basic ideas of the generalized wavelet-Galerkin method are described in details. In addition, some examples are used to illustrate its validity and high efficiency. A nonlinear example shows that the generalized wavelet-Galerkin method is not only valid to solve nonlinear problems, but also possesses the ability to find new solutions of multi-solution problems. This method can be widely applied to various types of both linear and nonlinear differential equations in science and engineering.

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.
