Abstract

In Klingenberg, Schnücke and Xia (Math. Comp. 86 (2017), 1203-1232) an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian discontinuous Galerkin (ALE-DG) method to solve conservation laws has been developed and analyzed. In this paper, the ALE-DG method will be extended to several dimensions. The method will be designed for simplex meshes. This will ensure that the method satisfies the geometric conservation law, if the accuracy of the time integrator is not less than the value of the spatial dimension. For the semi-discrete method the L2-stability will be proven. Furthermore, an error estimate which provides the suboptimal (k+1/2) convergence with respect to the L-infinity-norm will be presented, when an arbitrary monotone flux is used and for each cell the approximating functions are given by polynomials of degree $k$. The two dimensional fully-discrete explicit method will be combined with the bound preserving limiter developed by Zhang, Xia and Shu in (J. Sci. Comput. 50 (2012), 29-62). This limiter does not affect the high order accuracy of a numerical method. Then, for the ALE-DG method revised by the limiter the validity of a discrete maximum principle will be proven. The numerical stability, robustness and accuracy of the method will be shown by a variety of two dimensional computational experiments on moving triangular meshes.

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.
