hp-Optimal DG Approximation and Robust Schwarz Decompositions on One-Irregular Cubical Meshes

Abstract

We study hp approximation and additive Schwarz decompositions for variable-order cubical finite element spaces on one-irregular meshes. For fitted homogeneous diffusion interface problems on one-irregular hexahedral meshes, we prove an hp-optimal energy-norm estimate for the interior penalty DG method. The interpolation input is a conforming hp interpolant obtained from fitted conforming closures of one-irregular vertex patches. We also derive stable decompositions for conforming and DG spaces. On one-irregular quadrilateral meshes the bounds allow locally comparable variable polynomial degrees and are independent of the mesh size, the local degrees, and, under a local coefficient quasi-monotonicity condition, the coefficient contrast. On one-irregular hexahedral meshes the conforming decomposition has the corresponding polylogarithmic loss; the DG-to-conforming reduction is used there for uniform-degree DG spaces. Numerical experiments illustrate the p-optimal DG error estimate and the robustness of the DG Schwarz preconditioner.

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.
