Abstract

Sequences of linear systems arise in the predictor-corrector method when computing the Pareto front for multi-objective optimization. Rather than discarding information generated when solving one system, it may be advantageous to recycle information for subsequent systems. To accomplish this, we seek to reduce the overall cost of computation when solving linear systems using common recycling methods. In this work, we assessed the performance of recycling minimum residual (RMINRES) method along with a map between coefficient matrices. For these methods to be fully integrated into the software used in Enouen et al. (2022), there must be working version of each in both Python and PyTorch. Herein, we discuss the challenges we encountered and solutions undertaken (and some ongoing) when computing efficient Python implementations of these recycling strategies. The goal of this project was to implement RMINRES in Python and PyTorch and add it to the established Pareto front code to reduce computational cost. Additionally, we wanted to implement the sparse approximate maps code in Python and PyTorch, so that it can be parallelized in future work.

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.
