Drift-Free Conservative Dynamics from Quantized Interaction Rules

Abstract

Conservation laws are conventionally discretized through floating-point flux evaluation, with invariants obtained by cancellation of approximate interface contributions and admissible weak solutions selected by reconstruction and Riemann solvers. Here we introduce an operator-level formulation in which conservative dynamics is realized as an exact discrete interaction rule on a quantized state space. The update is defined by an antisymmetric integer-transfer operator, which enforces conservation exactly at the arithmetic level and eliminates round-off drift from the primitive evolution. For scalar laws, monotone order-preserving transfers select admissible shock structures within the primitive update, rather than through flux reconstruction. Numerical experiments show that the interaction rule preserves high-frequency transport near the Nyquist limit and maintains sharply localized discontinuities in Burgers dynamics. The same construction extends to multidimensional problems and systems of conservation laws through oriented, vector-valued integer transfers. The results show that exact integer-transfer dynamics can suppress cumulative transport drift while preserving entropy-shock localization in nonlinear conservative evolution.

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.
