Abstract

We describe a new, adaptive solver for the two-dimensional Poisson equation in complicated geometries. Using classical potential theory, we represent the solution as the sum of a volume potential and a double layer potential. Rather than evaluating the volume potential over the given domain, we first extend the source data to a geometrically simpler region with high order accuracy. This allows us to accelerate the evaluation of the volume potential using an efficient, geometry-unaware fast multipole-based algorithm. To impose the desired boundary condition, it remains only to solve the Laplace equation with suitably modified boundary data. This is accomplished with existing fast and accurate boundary integral methods. The novelty of our solver is the scheme used for creating the source extension, assuming it is provided on an adaptive quad-tree. For leaf boxes intersected by the boundary, we construct a universal "stencil" and require that the data be provided at the subset of those points that lie within the domain interior. This universality permits us to precompute and store an interpolation matrix which is used to extrapolate the source data to an extended set of leaf nodes with full tensor-product grids on each. We demonstrate the method's speed, robustness and high-order convergence with several examples, including domains with piecewise smooth boundaries.

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.
