Abstract

Contiguous submatrices of the Fourier matrix are known to be ill-conditioned. In a recent paper in SIAM Review A. Barnett has provided new bounds on the rate of ill-conditioning of the discrete Fourier submatrices. In this paper we focus on the corresponding singular value decomposition. The singular vectors go by the name of periodic discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (P-DPSS). The singular values exhibit an initial plateau, which depends on the dimensions of the submatrix, after which they decay rapidly. The latter regime is known as the plunge region and it is compatible with the submatrices being ill-conditioned. The discrete prolate sequences have received much less study than their continuous counterparts, prolate spheroidal wave functions, associated with continuous Fourier transforms and widely studied following the work of Slepian in the 1970's. In this paper we collect and expand known results on the stable numerical computation of the singular values and vectors of Fourier submatrices. We illustrate the computations and point out a few applications in which Fourier submatrices arise.

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.
