Abstract

In this paper, we will study the Bloch transformed rough surface scattering problems, and propose a numerical method based on the Bloch transformed problems. Based on the mathematical theory of the scattering problems from locally perturbed periodic surfaces, the same techniques will be applied to the rough surface scattering problems, and an equivalent coupled family of quasi-periodic scattering problems in one periodic cell will be established. The most important result obtained in this paper is on the finite Fourier series approximation of the Bloch transformed field with respect to the quasi-periodicity parameter. It will be proved that the finite series is exactly the Bloch transformed solution corresponds to truncated rough surfaces. Thus the truncation provides a reasonable approximation, and could be applied to the numerical solutions. Based on the approximation, a numerical method is proposed for the rough surface scattering problems. The convergence of the numerical method is proved and illustrated by the numerical experiments. The method provides a completely new perspective for the rough surface scattering problems. There is possibility that some high order method will be developed based on this new method.

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.
