Abstract

A general numerical method using sum of squares programming is proposed to address the problem of estimating the region of attraction (ROA) of an asymptotically stable equilibrium point of a nonlinear polynomial system. The method is based on Lyapunov theory, and a shape function is defined to enlarge the provable subset of a local Lyapunov function. In contrast with existing methods with a shape function centered at the equilibrium point, the proposed method utilizes a shifted shape function (SSF) with its center shifted iteratively towards the boundary of the newly obtained invariant subset to improve ROA estimation. A set of shifting centers with corresponding SSFs is generated to produce proven subsets of the exact ROA and then a composition method, namely R-composition, is employed to express these independent sets in a compact form by just a single but richer-shaped level set. The proposed method denoted as RcomSSF brings a significant improvement for general ROA estimation problems, especially for non-symmetric or unbounded ROA, while keeping the computational burden at a reasonable level. Its effectiveness and advantages are demonstrated by several benchmark examples from literature.

A Stabilized Finite Element Method for a Morpho-Visco-Poroelastic Model

Studying the structure of soft tissues is important and relevant in biology, particularly in some diseases, such as tumor growth and dermal contraction after burn injury. Based on the complicated characteristics of the tissue and for the sake of a better understanding of the underlying biomechanics, we propose a mathematical model that combines elastic, viscous, and porous effects with growth or shrinkage due to microstructural changes. The framework is referred to as morpho-visco-poroelasticity. Although the existence results of the solution to the problem are not given in this study, we assess the stability of the equilibria for both the continuous and semi-discrete versions of the model, and the key features of this modelling framework have been discussed. To obtain reliable numerical solutions, a stabilized finite element (FE) scheme is proposed for the morpho-visco-poroelasticity equations to avoid spurious oscillations in the pressure profile; the success of this FE scheme is verified by numerical simulations and convergence investigation in both spatial and temporal aspects. For a more quantitative assessment, the total variation of the pressure profile is evaluated as a function of the stabilization parameter.

Efficient third-order iterative algorithms for computing zeros of special functions

This manuscript presents a novel and reliable third-order iterative procedure for computing the zeros of solutions to second-order ordinary differential equations. By approximating the solution of the related Riccati differential equation using the trapezoidal rule, this study has derived the proposed third-order method. This work establishes sufficient conditions to ensure the theoretical non-local convergence of the proposed method. This study provides suitable initial guesses for the proposed third-order iterative procedure to compute all zeros in a given interval of the solutions to second-order ordinary differential equations. The orthogonal polynomials like Legendre and Hermite, as well as the special functions like Bessel, Coulomb wave, confluent hypergeometric, and cylinder functions, satisfy the proposed conditions for convergence. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed theory. This work also presents a comparative analysis with recent studies.

Machine-Learning-Enhanced Discretize-then-Project Reduced-Order Modeling of Turbulent Flows on Collocated Grids

This study presents a hybrid reduced-order modeling (ROM) framework for incompressible flows on collocated finite-volume grids, combining a discretize-then-project consistent-flux formulation for velocity and pressure with a non-intrusive neural-network closure for turbulent viscosity. The intrusive formulation preserves discrete mass conservation and pressure-velocity coupling, while a reduced pressure reference-cell constraint fixes pressure gauge ambiguity. We evaluate Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Transformer, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) closures. For a three-dimensional lid-driven cavity at $Re=100$, the LSTM-based ROM achieves relative errors of 0.7% in velocity and 4% in turbulent viscosity. At $Re=3200$, a mode-sensitivity study identifies $N=15$ POD modes as the best overall configuration, balancing accuracy, dimension, robustness, and cost. It yields a final relative velocity error of approximately 12.3% and an online wall-clock speedup of approximately $50\times$ over the full-order model; energy and enstrophy errors remain below 11% for all three architectures. This regime requires case-specific neural-network retraining and pressure reference-cell parameter retuning. In a time-extrapolation test trained on $t\in[0,3]$,s and rolled out to $t=6$,s, the ROM remains bounded, although velocity and pressure errors increase beyond the training window. The LSTM turbulent-viscosity closure remains robust, identifying long-horizon pressure accuracy as the main limitation. These results demonstrate the potential of consistent projection-based modeling combined with data-driven turbulence closure for efficient reduced-order simulation.
