Abstract

The homogeneous wave equation is solved by a time-domain boundary element method (BEM) using low-order shape functions for spatial, and the generalised convolution quadrature method (gCQ) by Lopez-Fernandez and Sauter for temporal discretisation. The three-dimensional array of BEM matrices according to a set of complex frequencies in Laplace domain is approximated by generalised Adaptive Cross Approximation (3D-ACA). Its rank is increased adaptively until a prescribed accuracy is reached, relying on a pure algebraic error criterion. The data slices for the selected frequency points are further processed by either the standard $\mathcal{H}$-matrices approach with ACA or by a fast multipole method (FMM). This paper compares both approaches with respect to their demands in storage and computing time. Both techniques are illustrated for calculating the sound scattered by an electric machine, for which the proposed algebraic compression techniques make time-domain BEM feasible for the first time.

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.
