Abstract

Our main objective in this paper is to develop a second-order stochastic numerical method which generalizes the well-known deterministic TR-BDF2 scheme. Since most stochastic techniques used for approximating the solution of a stochastic differential equation may have lower order compared to the deterministic case, we have elaborated a scheme which not only preserves the second-order accuracy of the original scheme in the stochastic framework, but also its $A$-stability. Once we obtain the scheme and prove its second-order accuracy and $A$-stability, which is not a trivial task, we also state a result concerning its $MS$-stability. This concept is also analyzed for different parameter ranges in our scheme and the It{ô}--Taylor approximation of order 2, revealing scenarios where, for certain time step sizes, the developed method is $MS$-stable while the It{ô}--Taylor one is not. This concept is really useful to tackle slow-fast problems such as stiff ones, which we aim to explore further in future work. Finally, we validate the theoretical results with some academic test cases.

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.
