Abstract

We develop high-order numerical schemes to solve random hyperbolic conservation laws using linear programming. The proposed schemes are high-order extensions of the existing first-order scheme introduced in [{\sc S. Chu, M. Herty, M. Lukáčová-Medvi{\softd}ová, and Y. Zhou}, SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 48 (2026)], where a novel structure-preserving numerical method using a concept of generalized, measure-valued solutions to solve random hyperbolic systems of conservation laws is proposed, yielding a linear partial differential equation concerning the Young measure and allowing the computation of approximations based on linear programming problems. The second-order extension is obtained using piecewise linear reconstructions of the one-sided point values of the unknowns. The fifth-order scheme is developed using the finite-difference alternative weighted essentially non-oscillatory (A-WENO) framework. These extensions significantly improve the resolution of discontinuities, as demonstrated by a series of numerical experiments on both random (Burgers equation, isentropic Euler equations) and deterministic (discontinuous flux, pressureless gas dynamics, Burgers equation with non-atomic support) hyperbolic conservation laws.

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.
