Error Estimates for Hyperbolic Scaling Limits of Linear Kinetic Models on Networks

Abstract

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.

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.

Arnoldi-Enhanced Multivariate Hermite Interpolation of Manifold-Valued Data

This paper integrates the multivariate Arnoldi process into tangent space Hermite interpolation for manifold-valued data. A G-Arnoldi recurrence constructs a discrete orthogonal polynomial basis, improving numerical conditioning for high-degree approximation. The analysis uses a Markov inequality with a geometry-dependent exponent r; for the convex parameter domains considered here, r = 2 is available. Under suitable regularity and sampling assumptions, we establish C^0 and C^1 error bounds and analyze their propagation through the exponential map. When only function values are sampled, these bounds are O(sqrt(M) n^{-m}) and O(sqrt(M) n^{2-m}), respectively. When first derivatives are also sampled, the C^1 bound improves to O(sqrt(M(d+1)) n^{1-m}). Here n is the polynomial degree, d the parameter dimension, m the target regularity, and M the number of sampling points. For sampling sequences satisfying the fill distance condition with M \asymp n^{2d}, the corresponding bounds become O(n^{d-m}), O(n^{d+2-m}), and O(n^{d+1-m}), yielding superalgebraic convergence for targets admitting smooth extensions. Numerical experiments on SO(3) and S^2 compare the accuracy and computational cost of the Arnoldi-enhanced method with THI+Kriging, with supplementary experiments demonstrating approximation without derivative samples.
