Abstract

Equation-free macroscale modelling is a systematic and rigorous computational methodology for efficiently predicting the dynamics of a microscale system at a desired macroscale system level. In this scheme, the given microscale model is computed in small patches spread across the space-time domain, with patch coupling conditions bridging the unsimulated space. For accurate simulations, care must be taken in designing the patch coupling conditions. Here we construct novel coupling conditions which preserve translational invariance, rotational invariance, and self-adjoint symmetry, thus guaranteeing that conservation laws associated with these symmetries are preserved in the macroscale simulation. Spectral and algebraic analyses of the proposed scheme in both one and two dimensions reveal mechanisms for further improving the accuracy of the simulations. Consistency of the patch scheme's macroscale dynamics with the original microscale model is proved. This new self-adjoint patch scheme provides an efficient, flexible, and accurate computational homogenisation in a wide range of multiscale scenarios of interest to scientists and engineers.

Optimal rates of uniform convergence for weighted Birkhoff averages via almost all rotations

In this paper, we investigate weighted Birkhoff averages for toral translations associated with compactly supported weighting functions. By introducing several new analytical techniques, we establish optimal uniform convergence rates for almost all rotations and specific (or even all) initial points. Unlike the $\mathcal{O}(N^{-1})$ rate best achieved in classical ergodic theory, we show that these weighted averages exhibit polynomial or even exponential convergence. We establish the optimality of these convergence rates in multiple aspects, particularly concerning regularity indices across four distinct cases: finite differentiability, the $C^\infty$ class, logarithmic $C^\infty$ classes, and Gevrey classes. Our results demonstrate that the regularity of the observable essentially dictates the convergence rate; furthermore, we prove that no admissible choice of weighting function can, in general, overcome the lower bounds imposed by this regularity. In contrast to the generically slow convergence of standard time averages, this work provides an optimal and nearly complete characterization of rapid convergence for weighted Birkhoff averages.

Spectral theory of frame flows on closed hyperbolic manifolds

We prove a resolvent estimate for the generator of the frame flow on hyperbolic manifolds away from vertical lines of resonances. A byproduct of the proof is an optimal essential spectral gap property for the generator, hence giving another proof of exponential mixing of frame flows with respect to the volume measure of the frame bundle. This extends the result of [https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.08387v2] in dimension 3 to any dimension. We make extensive use of the Borel-Weil calculus developed in [https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14846] to overcome difficulties of this higher-dimensional case.
