Abstract

Classical high-order backward differentiation formula (BDF) methods for the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation often suffer from restrictive stability constraints, requiring small time steps and imposing stringent lower bounds on the damping parameter. These limitations become particularly severe for schemes of order higher than three. In this paper, we develop a class of high-order generalized BDF (GBDF) schemes for the LLG equation, including both semi-implicit and fully explicit treatments of the gyromagnetic term. The proposed schemes significantly improve stability properties and substantially relax the damping parameter constraints, but introduce essential difficulty in its analysis compared to the classical BDF schemes. We construct a novel multiplier which enables us to carry out a energy-based error analysis. This approach yields optimal-order error estimates under considerably weaker assumptions on the damping parameter than those required for classical BDF schemes. Numerical experiments are presented to confirm the theoretical results, and demonstrate that the proposed GBDF schemes achieve higher accuracy, enhanced stability, and much wider admissible damping regimes compared to classical high-order BDF methods.

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.
