We develop a sparse spectral method for a class of fractional differential equations, posed on $\mathbb{R}$, in one dimension. These equations can include sqrt-Laplacian, Hilbert, derivative and identity terms. The numerical method utilizes a basis consisting of weighted Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind in conjunction with their Hilbert transforms. The former functions are supported on $[-1,1]$ whereas the latter have global support. The global approximation space can contain different affine transformations of the basis, mapping $[-1,1]$ to other intervals. Remarkably, not only are the induced linear systems sparse, but the operator decouples across the different affine transformations. Hence, the solve reduces to solving $K$ independent sparse linear systems of size $\mathcal{O}(n)\times \mathcal{O}(n)$, with $\mathcal{O}(n)$ nonzero entries, where $K$ is the number of different intervals and $n$ is the highest polynomial degree contained in the sum space. This results in an $\mathcal{O}(n)$ complexity solve. Applications to fractional heat and wave equations are considered.

The logics $\mathsf{CS4}$ and $\mathsf{IS4}$ are the two leading intuitionistic variants of the modal logic $\mathsf{S4}$. Whether the finite model property holds for each of these logics have been long-standing open problems. It was recently shown that $\mathsf{IS4}$ has the finite frame property and thus the finite model property. In this paper, we prove that $\mathsf{CS4}$ also enjoys the finite frame property. Additionally, we investigate the following three logics closely related to $\mathsf{IS4}$. The logic $\mathsf{GS4}$ is obtained by adding the G\"odel--Dummett axiom to $\mathsf{IS4}$; it is both a superintuitionistic and a fuzzy logic and has previously been given a real-valued semantics. We provide an alternative birelational semantics and prove strong completeness with respect to this semantics. The extension $\mathsf{GS4^c}$ of $\mathsf{GS4}$ corresponds to requiring a crisp accessibility relation on the real-valued semantics. We give a birelational semantics corresponding to an extra confluence condition on the $\mathsf{GS4}$ birelational semantics and prove strong completeness. Neither of these two logics have the finite model property with respect to their real-valued semantics, but we prove that they have the finite frame property for their birelational semantics. Establishing the finite birelational frame property immediately establishes decidability, which was previously open for these two logics. Our proofs yield NEXPTIME upper bounds. The logic $\mathsf{S4I}$ is obtained from $\mathsf{IS4}$ by reversing the roles of the modal and intuitionistic relations in the birelational semantics. We also prove the finite frame property, and thereby decidability, for $\mathsf{S4I}$
The threshold theorem is a fundamental result in the theory of fault-tolerant quantum computation stating that arbitrarily long quantum computations can be performed with a polylogarithmic overhead provided the noise level is below a constant level. A recent work by Fawzi, Grospellier and Leverrier (FOCS 2018) building on a result by Gottesman (QIC 2013) has shown that the space overhead can be asymptotically reduced to a constant independent of the circuit provided we only consider circuits with a length bounded by a polynomial in the width. In this work, using a minimal model for quantum fault tolerance, we establish a general lower bound on the space overhead required to achieve fault tolerance. For any non-unitary qubit channel $\mathcal{N}$ and any quantum fault tolerance schemes against $\mathrm{i.i.d.}$ noise modeled by $\mathcal{N}$, we prove a lower bound of $\max\left\{\mathrm{Q}(\mathcal{N})^{-1}n,\alpha_\mathcal{N} \log T\right\}$ on the number of physical qubits, for circuits of length $T$ and width $n$. Here, $\mathrm{Q}(\mathcal{N})$ denotes the quantum capacity of $\mathcal{N}$ and $\alpha_\mathcal{N}>0$ is a constant only depending on the channel $\mathcal{N}$. In our model, we allow for qubits to be replaced by fresh ones during the execution of the circuit and we allow classical computation to be free and perfect. This improves upon results that assumed classical computations to be also affected by noise, and that sometimes did not allow for fresh qubits to be added. Along the way, we prove an exponential upper bound on the maximal length of fault-tolerant quantum computation with amplitude damping noise resolving a conjecture by Ben-Or, Gottesman, and Hassidim (2013).
It is known from the monograph [1, Chapter 5] that the weak convergence analysis of numerical schemes for stochastic Maxwell equations is an unsolved problem. This paper aims to fill the gap by establishing the long-time weak convergence analysis of the semi-implicit Euler scheme for stochastic Maxwell equations. Based on analyzing the regularity of transformed Kolmogorov equation associated to stochastic Maxwell equations and constructing a proper continuous adapted auxiliary process for the semi-implicit scheme, we present the long-time weak convergence analysis for this scheme and prove that the weak convergence order is one, which is twice the strong convergence order. As applications of this result, we obtain the convergence order of the numerical invariant measure, the strong law of large numbers and central limit theorem related to the numerical solution, and the error estimate of the multi-level Monte Carlo estimator. As far as we know, this is the first result on the weak convergence order for stochastic Maxwell equations.
Explicit time integration schemes coupled with Galerkin discretizations of time-dependent partial differential equations require solving a linear system with the mass matrix at each time step. For applications in structural dynamics, the solution of the linear system is frequently approximated through so-called mass lumping, which consists in replacing the mass matrix by some diagonal approximation. Mass lumping has been widely used in engineering practice for decades already and has a sound mathematical theory supporting it for finite element methods using the classical Lagrange basis. However, the theory for more general basis functions is still missing. Our paper partly addresses this shortcoming. Some special and practically relevant properties of lumped mass matrices are proved and we discuss how these properties naturally extend to banded and Kronecker product matrices whose structure allows to solve linear systems very efficiently. Our theoretical results are applied to isogeometric discretizations but are not restricted to them.
It is well known that the quasi-optimality of the Galerkin finite element method for the Helmholtz equation is dependent on the mesh size and the wave-number. In literature, different criteria have been proposed to ensure quasi-optimality. Often these criteria are difficult to obtain and depend on wave-number explicit regularity estimates. In the present work, we focus on criteria based on T-coercivity and weak T-coercivity, which highlight mesh size dependence on the gap between the square of the wavenumber and Laplace eigenvalues. We also propose an adaptive scheme, coupled with a residual-based indicator, for optimal mesh generation with minimal degrees of freedom.
In this work, we derive a $\gamma$-robust a posteriori error estimator for finite element approximations of the Allen-Cahn equation with variable non-degenerate mobility. The estimator utilizes spectral estimates for the linearized steady part of the differential operator as well as a conditional stability estimate based on a weighted sum of Bregman distances, based on the energy and a functional related to the mobility. A suitable reconstruction of the numerical solution in the stability estimate leads to a fully computable estimator.
The non-linear collision-induced breakage equation has significant applications in particulate processes. Two semi-analytical techniques, namely homotopy analysis method (HAM) and accelerated homotopy perturbation method (AHPM) are investigated along with the well-known finite volume method (FVM) to comprehend the dynamical behavior of the non-linear system, i.e., the concentration function, the total number and the total mass of the particles in the system. The theoretical convergence analyses of the series solutions of HAM and AHPM are discussed. In addition, the error estimations of the truncated solutions of both methods equip the maximum absolute error bound. To justify the applicability and accuracy of these methods, numerical simulations are compared with the findings of FVM and analytical solutions considering three physical problems.
Solutions to many important partial differential equations satisfy bounds constraints, but approximations computed by finite element or finite difference methods typically fail to respect the same conditions. Chang and Nakshatrala enforce such bounds in finite element methods through the solution of variational inequalities rather than linear variational problems. Here, we provide a theoretical justification for this method, including higher-order discretizations. We prove an abstract best approximation result for the linear variational inequality and estimates showing that bounds-constrained polynomials provide comparable approximation power to standard spaces. For any unconstrained approximation to a function, there exists a constrained approximation which is comparable in the $W^{1,p}$ norm. In practice, one cannot efficiently represent and manipulate the entire family of bounds-constrained polynomials, but applying bounds constraints to the coefficients of a polynomial in the Bernstein basis guarantees those constraints on the polynomial. Although our theoretical results do not guaruntee high accuracy for this subset of bounds-constrained polynomials, numerical results indicate optimal orders of accuracy for smooth solutions and sharp resolution of features in convection-diffusion problems, all subject to bounds constraints.
Existing schemes for demonstrating quantum computational advantage are subject to various practical restrictions, including the hardness of verification and challenges in experimental implementation. Meanwhile, analog quantum simulators have been realized in many experiments to study novel physics. In this work, we propose a quantum advantage protocol based on single-step Feynman-Kitaev verification of an analog quantum simulation, in which the verifier need only run an $O(\lambda^2)$-time classical computation, and the prover need only prepare $O(1)$ samples of a history state and perform $O(\lambda^2)$ single-qubit measurements, for a security parameter $\lambda$. We also propose a near-term feasible strategy for honest provers and discuss potential experimental realizations.
The $L_p$-discrepancy is a classical quantitative measure for the irregularity of distribution of an $N$-element point set in the $d$-dimensional unit cube. Its inverse for dimension $d$ and error threshold $\varepsilon \in (0,1)$ is the number of points in $[0,1)^d$ that is required such that the minimal normalized $L_p$-discrepancy is less or equal $\varepsilon$. It is well known, that the inverse of $L_2$-discrepancy grows exponentially fast with the dimension $d$, i.e., we have the curse of dimensionality, whereas the inverse of $L_{\infty}$-discrepancy depends exactly linearly on $d$. The behavior of inverse of $L_p$-discrepancy for general $p \not\in \{2,\infty\}$ was an open problem since many years. Recently, the curse of dimensionality for the $L_p$-discrepancy was shown for an infinite sequence of values $p$ in $(1,2]$, but the general result seemed to be out of reach. In the present paper we show that the $L_p$-discrepancy suffers from the curse of dimensionality for all $p$ in $(1,\infty)$ and only the case $p=1$ is still open. This result follows from a more general result that we show for the worst-case error of positive quadrature formulas for an anchored Sobolev space of once differentiable functions in each variable whose first mixed derivative has finite $L_q$-norm, where $q$ is the H\"older conjugate of $p$.
