Abstract

The Gauss-Seidel projection method (GSPM) constitutes an efficient and numerically stable numerical framework for micromagnetic simulations of ferromagnetic media. This scheme attains first-order temporal accuracy and second-order spatial accuracy. Fast Fourier transform (FFT) techniques can be incorporated to accelerate both the solution of the arising linear algebraic systems and the evaluation of stray magnetic fields. The conventional GSPM relies on a single-sided Gauss-Seidel iteration, which leverages the latest updated state variables associated with the heat-diffusion subproblem. In this work, we develop a symmetric Gauss-Seidel projection method (SGSPM) that retains first-order temporal accuracy and second-order spatial consistency. The proposed symmetric variant exhibits superior stability properties relative to the standard GSPM. Specifically, SGSPM adopts a two-pass symmetric Gauss-Seidel iteration, where updated information from the heat-diffusion stage is fully exploited to rigorously guarantee discrete energy stability. We validate the performance of the devised scheme through numerical investigations of magnetization dynamic evolution and magnetic domain-wall propagation. Numerical evidence demonstrates that the improved symmetric scheme delivers enhanced stability for capturing magnetization motion dynamics.

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.
