Abstract

Multigrid solvers are among the most efficient methods for solving the Poisson equation, which is ubiquitous in computational physics. For example, in the context of incompressible flows, it is typically the costliest operation. The present document expounds upon the implementation of a flexible multigrid solver that is capable of handling any type of boundary conditions within murphy, a multiresolution framework for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) on collocated adaptive grids. The utilization of a Fourier-based direct solver facilitates the attainment of flexibility and enhanced performance by accommodating any combination of unbounded and semi-unbounded boundary conditions. The employment of high-order compact stencils contributes to the reduction of communication demands while concurrently enhancing the accuracy of the system. The resulting solver is validated against analytical solutions for periodic and unbounded domains. In conclusion, the solver has been demonstrated to demonstrate scalability to 16,384 cores within the context of leading European high-performance computing infrastructures.

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.
