Abstract

This study presents the Fourier-Gegenbauer Integral-Galerkin (FGIG) method, a novel and efficient numerical framework for solving the one-dimensional advection-diffusion equation with periodic boundary conditions. The FGIG method uniquely combines Fourier series for spatial periodicity and Gegenbauer polynomials for temporal integration within a Galerkin framework, resulting in highly accurate numerical and semi-analytical solutions. Distinctively, this approach eliminates the need for time-stepping procedures by reformulating the problem as a system of integral equations, reducing error accumulation over long-time simulations and improving computational efficiency. Key contributions include exponential convergence rates for smooth solutions, robustness under oscillatory conditions, and an inherently parallelizable structure, enabling scalable computation for large-scale problems. Additionally, the method introduces a barycentric formulation of shifted-Gegenbauer-Gauss quadrature to ensure high accuracy and stability for relatively low Péclet numbers. Numerical experiments validate the method's superior performance over traditional techniques, demonstrating its potential for extending to higher-dimensional problems and diverse applications in computational mathematics and engineering.

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.
