Abstract

We present a novel mapping approach for WENO schemes through the use of an approximate constant mapping function which is constructed by employing an approximation of the classic signum function. The new approximate constant mapping function is designed to meet the overall criteria for a proper mapping function required in the design of the WENO-PM6 scheme. The WENO-PM6 scheme was proposed to overcome the potential loss of accuracy of the WENO-M scheme which was developed to recover the optimal convergence order of the WENO-JS scheme at critical points. Our new mapped WENO scheme, denoted as WENO-ACM, maintains almost all advantages of the WENO-PM6 scheme, including low dissipation and high resolution, while decreases the number of mathematical operations remarkably in every mapping process leading to a significant improvement of efficiency. The convergence rates of the WENO-ACM scheme have been shown through one-dimensional linear advection equation with various initial conditions. Numerical results of one-dimensional Euler equations for the Riemann problems, the Mach 3 shock-density wave interaction and the Woodward-Colella interacting blastwaves are improved in comparison with the results obtained by the WENO-JS, WENO-M and WENO-PM6 schemes. Numerical experiments with two-dimensional problems as the 2D Riemann problem, the shock-vortex interaction, the 2D explosion problem, the double Mach reflection and the forward-facing step problem modeled via the two dimensional Euler equations have been conducted to demonstrate the high resolution and the effectiveness of the WENO-ACM scheme. The WENO-ACM scheme provides significantly better resolution than the WENO-M scheme and slightly better resolution than the WENO-PM6 scheme, and compared to the WENO-M and WENO-PM6 schemes, the extra computational cost is reduced by more than 83% and 93%, respectively.

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.
