Abstract

A new type of finite volume WENO schemes for hyperbolic problems was devised in [36] by introducing the order-preserving (OP) criterion. In this continuing work, we extend the OP criterion to the WENO-Z-type schemes. We firstly rewrite the formulas of the Z-type weights in a uniform form from a mapping perspective inspired by extensive numerical observations. Accrodingly, we build the concept of the locally order-preserving (LOP) mapping which is an extension of the order-preserving (OP) mapping and the resultant improved WENO-Z-type schemes are denoted as LOP-GMWENO-X. There are four major advantages of the LOP-GMWENO-X schemes superior to the existing WENO-Z-type schemes. Firstly, the new schemes can amend the serious drawback of the existing WENO-Z-type schemes that most of them suffer from either producing severe spurious oscillations or failing to obtain high resolutions in long calculations of hyperbolic problems with discontinuities. Secondly, they can maintain considerably high resolutions on solving problems with high-order critical points at long output times. Thirdly, they can obtain evidently higher resolution in the region with high-frequency but smooth waves. Finally, they can significantly decrease the post-shock oscillations for simulations of some 2D problems with strong shock waves. Extensive benchmark examples are conducted to illustrate these advantages.

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.
