Abstract

We consider a new coarse space for the ASM and RAS preconditioners to solve elliptic partial differential equations on perforated domains, where the numerous polygonal perforations represent structures such as walls and buildings in urban data. With the eventual goal of modelling urban floods by means of the nonlinear Diffusive Wave equation, this contribution focuses on the solution of linear problems on perforated domains. Our coarse space uses a polygonal subdomain partitioning and is spanned by Trefftz-like basis functions that are piecewise linear on the boundary of a subdomain and harmonic inside it. It is based on nodal degrees of freedom that account for the intersection between the perforations and the subdomain boundaries. As a reference, we compare this coarse space to the well-studied Nicolaides coarse space with the same subdomain partitioning. It is known that the Nicolaides space is unable to prevent stagnation in convergence when the subdomains are not connected; we work around this issue by separating each subdomain by disconnected component. Scalability and robustness are tested for multiple data sets based on realistic urban topography. Numerical results show that the new coarse space is very robust and accelerates the number of Krylov iterations when compared to Nicolaides, independent of the complexity of the data.

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.
