A key numerical difficulty in compressible fluid dynamics is the formation of shock waves. Shock waves feature jump discontinuities in the velocity and density of the fluid and thus preclude the existence of classical solutions to the compressible Euler equations. Weak "entropy" solutions are commonly defined by viscous regularization, but even small amounts of viscosity can substantially change the long-term behavior of the solution. In this work, we propose an inviscid regularization based on ideas from semidefinite programming and information geometry. From a Lagrangian perspective, shock formation in entropy solutions amounts to inelastic collisions of fluid particles. Their trajectories are akin to that of projected gradient descent on a feasible set of nonintersecting paths. We regularize these trajectories by replacing them with solution paths of interior point methods based on log determinantal barrier functions. These paths are geodesic curves with respect to the information geometry induced by the barrier function. Thus, our regularization amounts to replacing the Euclidean geometry of phase space with a suitable information geometry. We extend this idea to infinite families of paths by viewing Euler's equations as a dynamical system on a diffeomorphism manifold. Our regularization embeds this manifold into an information geometric ambient space, equipping it with a geodesically complete geometry. Expressing the resulting Lagrangian equations in Eulerian form, we derive a regularized Euler equation in conservation form. Numerical experiments on one and two-dimensional problems show its promise as a numerical tool.
Linear logic has provided new perspectives on proof-theory, denotational semantics and the study of programming languages. One of its main successes are proof-nets, canonical representations of proofs that lie at the intersection between logic and graph theory. In the case of the minimalist proof-system of multiplicative linear logic without units (MLL), these two aspects are completely fused: proof-nets for this system are graphs satisfying a correctness criterion that can be fully expressed in the language of graphs. For more expressive logical systems (containing logical constants, quantifiers and exponential modalities), this is not completely the case. The purely graphical approach of proof-nets deprives them of any sequential structure that is crucial to represent the order in which arguments are presented, which is necessary for these extensions. Rebuilding this order of presentation - sequentializing the graph - is thus a requirement for a graph to be logical. Presentations and study of the artifacts ensuring that sequentialization can be done, such as boxes or jumps, are an integral part of researches on linear logic. Jumps, extensively studied by Faggian and di Giamberardino, can express intermediate degrees of sequentialization between a sequent calculus proof and a fully desequentialized proof-net. We propose to analyze the logical strength of jumps by internalizing them in an extention of MLL where axioms on a specific formula, the jumping formula, introduce constrains on the possible sequentializations. The jumping formula needs to be treated non-linearly, which we do either axiomatically, or by embedding it in a very controlled fragment of multiplicative-exponential linear logic, uncovering the exponential logic of sequentialization.
We introduce a novel algorithm that converges to level-set convex viscosity solutions of high-dimensional Hamilton-Jacobi equations. The algorithm is applicable to a broad class of curvature motion PDEs, as well as a recently developed Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the Tukey depth, which is a statistical depth measure of data points. A main contribution of our work is a new monotone scheme for approximating the direction of the gradient, which allows for monotone discretizations of pure partial derivatives in the direction of, and orthogonal to, the gradient. We provide a convergence analysis of the algorithm on both regular Cartesian grids and unstructured point clouds in any dimension and present numerical experiments that demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm in approximating solutions of the affine flow in two dimensions and the Tukey depth measure of high-dimensional datasets such as MNIST and FashionMNIST.
Neural ordinary differential equations (neural ODEs) are a popular family of continuous-depth deep learning models. In this work, we consider a large family of parameterized ODEs with continuous-in-time parameters, which include time-dependent neural ODEs. We derive a generalization bound for this class by a Lipschitz-based argument. By leveraging the analogy between neural ODEs and deep residual networks, our approach yields in particular a generalization bound for a class of deep residual networks. The bound involves the magnitude of the difference between successive weight matrices. We illustrate numerically how this quantity affects the generalization capability of neural networks.
We give an adequate, concrete, categorical-based model for Lambda-S, which is a typed version of a linear-algebraic lambda calculus, extended with measurements. Lambda-S is an extension to first-order lambda calculus unifying two approaches of non-cloning in quantum lambda-calculi: to forbid duplication of variables, and to consider all lambda-terms as algebraic linear functions. The type system of Lambda-S have a superposition constructor S such that a type A is considered as the base of a vector space while SA is its span. Our model considers S as the composition of two functors in an adjunction relation between the category of sets and the category of vector spaces over C. The right adjoint is a forgetful functor U, which is hidden in the language, and plays a central role in the computational reasoning.
A comprehensive mathematical model of the multiphysics flow of blood and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) in the brain can be expressed as the coupling of a poromechanics system and Stokes' equations: the first describes fluids filtration through the cerebral tissue and the tissue's elastic response, while the latter models the flow of the CSF in the brain ventricles. This model describes the functioning of the brain's waste clearance mechanism, which has been recently discovered to play an essential role in the progress of neurodegenerative diseases. To model the interactions between different scales in the porous medium, we propose a physically consistent coupling between Multi-compartment Poroelasticity (MPE) equations and Stokes' equations. In this work, we introduce a numerical scheme for the discretization of such coupled MPE-Stokes system, employing a high-order discontinuous Galerkin method on polytopal grids to efficiently account for the geometric complexity of the domain. We analyze the stability and convergence of the space semidiscretized formulation, we prove a-priori error estimates, and we present a temporal discretization based on a combination of Newmark's $\beta$-method for the elastic wave equation and the $\theta$-method for the other equations of the model. Numerical simulations carried out on test cases with manufactured solutions validate the theoretical error estimates. We also present numerical results on a two-dimensional slice of a patient-specific brain geometry reconstructed from diagnostic images, to test in practice the advantages of the proposed approach.
The Reynolds equation, combined with the Elrod algorithm for including the effect of cavitation, resembles a nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction (CDR) equation. Its solution by finite elements is prone to oscillations in convection-dominated regions, which are present whenever cavitation occurs. We propose a stabilized finite-element method that is based on the variational multiscale method and exploits the concept of orthogonal subgrid scales. We demonstrate that this approach only requires one additional term in the weak form to obtain a stable method that converges optimally when performing mesh refinement.
This manuscript studies the numerical solution of the time-fractional Burgers-Huxley equation in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The analytical solution of the equation is obtained in terms of a convergent series with easily computable components. It is observed that the approximate solution uniformly converges to the exact solution for the aforementioned equation. Also, the convergence of the proposed method is investigated. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the presented method. The numerical results indicate that the proposed method is powerful and effective with a small computational overhead.
In high-temperature plasma physics, a strong magnetic field is usually used to confine charged particles. Therefore, for studying the classical mathematical models of the physical problems it needs to consider the effect of external magnetic fields. One of the important model equations in plasma is the Vlasov-Poisson equation with an external magnetic field. This equation usually has multi-scale characteristics and rich physical properties, thus it is very important and meaningful to construct numerical methods that can maintain the physical properties inherited by the original systems over long time. This paper extends the corresponding theory in Cartesian coordinates to general orthogonal curvilinear coordinates, and proves that a Poisson-bracket structure can still be obtained after applying the corresponding finite element discretization. However, the Hamiltonian systems in the new coordinate systems generally cannot be decomposed into sub-systems that can be solved accurately, so it is impossible to use the splitting methods to construct the corresponding geometric integrators. Therefore, this paper proposes a semi-implicit method for strong magnetic fields and analyzes the asymptotic stability of this method.
This paper introduces a novel class of fair and interpolatory curves called $p\kappa$-curves. These curves are comprised of smoothly stitched B\'ezier curve segments, where the curvature distribution of each segment is made to closely resemble a parabola, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing shape. Moreover, each segment passes through an interpolated point at a parameter where the parabola has an extremum, encouraging the alignment of interpolated points with curvature extrema. To achieve these properties, we tailor an energy function that guides the optimization process to obtain the desired curve characteristics. Additionally, we develop an efficient algorithm and an initialization method, enabling interactive modeling of the $p\kappa$-curves without the need for global optimization. We provide various examples and comparisons with existing state-of-the-art methods to demonstrate the curve modeling capabilities and visually pleasing appearance of $p\kappa$-curves.
From the literature, it is known that the choice of basis functions in hp-FEM heavily influences the computational cost in order to obtain an approximate solution. Depending on the choice of the reference element, suitable tensor product like basis functions of Jacobi polynomials with different weights lead to optimal properties due to condition number and sparsity. This paper presents biorthogonal basis functions to the primal basis functions mentioned above. The authors investigate hypercubes and simplices as reference elements, as well as the cases of $H^1$ and H(Curl). The functions can be expressed sums of tensor products of Jacobi polynomials with maximal two summands.
