Abstract

High-order differential operators and nonlinear coupling make it challenging to construct conservative and energy-stable schemes for coupled gradient-flow systems. We present GradAgent, a knowledge-guided multi-agent system that coordinates three agents across model analysis, algorithm design and proofs, and numerical implementation and validation. Independent audits strengthen reliability by uncovering mathematical errors and proof gaps, guiding revisions, and maintaining consistency across stages. In Reconstruction Mode, GradAgent reconstructs 20 published studies and organizes audited knowledge in an extensible knowledge graph (KG), GradAgent-KG, linking model structures, discretization strategies and proofs, implementations, and numerical evidence. In Design Mode, the agents assess the applicability of retrieved knowledge and develop new schemes informed by relevant discretization strategies. Applied to the fully coupled multicomponent vesicle phase-field-fluid model, GradAgent yields three first-order and three second-order schemes across three algorithmic families, including four linear, decoupled schemes. Under stated assumptions, all six schemes conserve membrane component mass and vesicle volume and dissipate their respective temporally discrete energies unconditionally. Comparisons with and without GradAgent-KG show that it promotes diversity in structure-preserving scheme design for this target model. Numerical tests confirm second-order spatial accuracy, the expected temporal orders, conservation, and temporally discrete energy dissipation, while three-dimensional shear-flow simulations agree qualitatively with experiments. These results demonstrate GradAgent's ability to combine reusable knowledge, coordinated reasoning, and independent auditing to develop and validate structure-preserving algorithms for complex coupled systems.

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.
