Abstract

Directly self-starting implicit methods are attractive for transient analysis because they avoid auxiliary starting procedures while retaining the original first- or second-order governing equations. However, most existing formulations usually fix the last sub-step at the end of each time interval, which restricts the attainable order. This study develops a generalized $s$-sub-step implicit framework by releasing this constraint and treating all sub-step locations as design variables. The resulting methods admit a unified Runge--Kutta representation for both first- and second-order transient systems and preserve identical effective matrices over all sub-steps. Accuracy conditions are derived by simultaneously matching the numerical amplification factor and load operator, thereby accounting for both homogeneous and forced responses. For $s=1,~\cdots,~6$, two complementary families are obtained: $s$th-order members with user-controllable high-frequency numerical dissipation and adjustable sub-step locations, and $(s+1)$th-order members obtained by selecting the sub-step locations, with fixed dissipation. The latter reach up to seventh-order accuracy without increasing the number of sub-steps, although some high-order members are $A(α)$-stable with stability angles extremely close to $90^\circ$. Analytical amplitude and phase errors further reveal parity-dependent superconvergence in undamped systems, and appropriate parameter selections can substantially increase either phase or amplitude accuracy beyond the formal order. Numerical benchmarks confirm the predicted convergence orders and the controllable suppression of spurious high-frequency responses.

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.
