Abstract

In this paper, we propose and analyze a set of fully non-stationary Anderson acceleration algorithms with dynamic window sizes and optimized damping. Although Anderson acceleration (AA) has been used for decades to speed up nonlinear solvers in many applications, most authors are simply using and analyzing the stationary version of Anderson acceleration (sAA) with fixed window size and a constant damping factor. The behavior and potential of the non-stationary version of Anderson acceleration methods remain an open question. Since most efficient linear solvers use composable algorithmic components. Similar ideas can be used for AA to solve nonlinear systems. Thus in the present work, to develop non-stationary Anderson acceleration algorithms, we first propose two systematic ways to dynamically alternate the window size $m$ by composition. One simple way to package sAA(m) with sAA(n) in each iteration is applying sAA(m) and sAA(n) separately and then average their results. It is an additive composite combination. The other more important way is the multiplicative composite combination, which means we apply sAA(m) in the outer loop and apply sAA(n) in the inner loop. By doing this, significant gains can be achieved. Secondly, to make AA to be a fully non-stationary algorithm, we need to combine these strategies with our recent work on the non-stationary Anderson acceleration algorithm with optimized damping (AAoptD), which is another important direction of producing non-stationary AA and nice performance gains have been observed. Moreover, we also investigate the rate of convergence of these non-stationary AA methods under suitable assumptions. Finally, our numerical results show that some of these proposed non-stationary Anderson acceleration algorithms converge faster than the stationary sAA method and they may significantly reduce the storage and time to find the solution in many cases.

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.
