Abstract

In this article, we have studied the convergence behavior of the Dirichlet-Neumann and Neumann- Neumann waveform relaxation algorithms for time-fractional sub-diffusion and diffusion-wave equations in 1D & 2D for regular domains, where the dimensionless diffusion coefficient takes different constant values in different subdomains. We first observe that different diffusion coefficients lead to different relaxation parameters for optimal convergence. Using these optimal relaxation parameters, our analysis estimates the slow superlinear convergence of the algorithms when the fractional order of the time derivative is close to zero, almost finite step convergence when the order is close to two, and in between, the superlinear convergence becomes faster as fractional order increases. So, we have successfully caught the transition of convergence rate with the change of fractional order of the time derivative in estimates and verified them with numerical experiments.

The Stability of Block Eliminations and Additive Modifications

The block elimination with additive modifications (BEAM) method was recently proposed as a alternative to LU with partial pivoting requiring less communication. Because of the novelty of BEAM, the existing theoretical analysis is lacking. To that end, we analyze both the numerical stability of the underlying block LU factorization and the effects of additive modifications. For the block LU factorization, we are able to improve the previous results of Demmel et al. from being cubic in the element growth to merely quadratic. Furthermore, we propose an alternative measure of element growth that is better aligned with block LU; this new measure of growth allows our analysis to apply to matrices that cannot be factored with pointwise LU. In the second part, we analyzed the modifications produced by BEAM and the effect they have on the condition number and growth factor. Finally, we show that BEAM will not apply any modifications in some cases that regular block LU can safely factor.

Efficient Rigorous Continuation via Chebyshev Series Expansion I

We study the global continuation of solution manifolds arising in dynamical systems. We present a rigorous continuation method based on a Chebyshev series expansion of the solution manifold. The branch is first approximated by a high-order Chebyshev interpolation polynomial, and an explicit error bound is then obtained by verifying the contraction of a quasi-Newton operator near this approximation. The contraction is formulated on a weighted $\ell^1$ space, giving a finer control than the typical $C^0$-error bound obtained from the uniform contraction theorem. In fact, the latter follows directly from our contraction operator. Furthermore, we discuss how our strategy applies naturally to pseudo-arclength continuation, where the continuation parameter fails to provide a valid local coordinate, and extends to multi-parameter continuation. Lastly, we detail two applications in which we compute a two-parameter family of steady-states for the Cahn--Hilliard equation, and a one-parameter family of steady-states undergoing saddle-node bifurcations for the Shigesada--Kawasaki--Teramoto system.

Efficient iterative techniques for solving tensor problems with the T-product

This paper develops two efficient iterative methods for solving tensor equations under the T-product framework. For T-symmetric positive definite tensor equations of the form $\mathcal{C} \star \mathcal{X} = \mathcal{D}$, we propose a conjugate-gradient-type algorithm that generates orthogonal residual and $\mathcal{C}$-orthogonal direction sequences, ensuring convergence within a finite number of steps. For general consistent tensor equations, we extend the method using a normal-equation transformation, and further adapt it to handle inconsistent systems by solving a least-squares minimization problem. Key advantages include direct tensor-based computations without explicit matrix expansion, rigorous finite-step convergence proofs, and the ability to obtain minimal Frobenius norm solutions. Numerical experiments on synthetic data, benchmark images, and video sequences demonstrate that the proposed algorithms achieve high precision with low computational time, confirming their practicality for large-scale multidimensional problems.
