Abstract

This paper is concerned with numerical analysis of two fully discrete Chorin-type projection methods for the stochastic Stokes equations with general non-solenoidal multiplicative noise. The first scheme is the standard Chorin scheme and the second one is a modified Chorin scheme which is designed by employing the Helmholtz decomposition on the noise function at each time step to produce a projected divergence-free noise and a "pseudo pressure" after combining the original pressure and the curl-free part of the decomposition. Optimal order rates of the convergence are proved for both velocity and pressure approximations of these two (semi-discrete) Chorin schemes. It is crucial to measure the errors in appropriate norms. The fully discrete finite element methods are formulated by discretizing both semi-discrete Chorin schemes in space by the standard finite element method. Suboptimal order error estimates are derived for both fully discrete methods. It is proved that all spatial error constants contain a growth factor $k^{-1/2}$, where $k$ denotes the time step size, which explains the deteriorating performance of the standard Chorin scheme when $k\to 0$ and the space mesh size is fixed as observed earlier in the numerical tests of [9]. Numerical results are also provided to guage the performance of the proposed numerical methods and to validate the sharpness of the theoretical error estimates.

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.
