Abstract

We reconstruct a piecewise-smooth source in a Poisson equation on a semi-infinite strip from noisy solution values measured along an interior line. Applying the one-dimensional Dirichlet Laplacian to the observation reduces the inverse problem to regularized second-order differentiation followed by a boundedly invertible correction. The differentiated trace and the source differ by an analytic smoothing term and therefore have the same interior singular support and jump data. This structure motivates a localized Fourier extension method that combines two staggered detection partitions, GTSVD-regularized local derivative coefficients, mollified conjugate Fourier sums, and structure-aligned numerical differentiation. The source is then recovered by an exponentially decaying spectral correction. For an exact partition, the reconstruction inherits the piecewise differentiation rate $\mathcal O(δ^{(\bar s-2)/\bar s})$; local peak and partition perturbation estimates describe the additional effect of breakpoint errors. Comparisons with full-grid total-variation regularization and truncated Fourier inversion show competitive high-noise performance and a pronounced low-noise advantage of the localized method. Repeated Gaussian-noise tests confirm robustness in the moderate- and low-noise regimes.

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.
