We consider a linear implicit-explicit (IMEX) time discretization of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with a source term, endowed with Dirichlet boundary conditions. For every time step small enough, we build an exponential attractor of the discrete-in-time dynamical system associated to the discretization. We prove that, as the time step tends to 0, this attractor converges for the symmmetric Hausdorff distance to an exponential attractor of the continuous-in-time dynamical system associated with the PDE. We also prove that the fractal dimension of the exponential attractor (and consequently, of the global attractor) is bounded by a constant independent of the time step. The results also apply to the classical Cahn-Hilliard equation with Neumann boundary conditions.

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.
We aim to establish Bowen's equations for upper capacity invariance pressure and Pesin-Pitskel invariance pressure of discrete-time control systems. We first introduce a new invariance pressure called induced invariance pressure on partitions that specializes the upper capacity invariance pressure on partitions, and then show that the two types of invariance pressures are related by a Bowen's equation. Besides, to establish Bowen's equation for Pesin-Pitskel invariance pressure on partitions we also introduce a new notion called BS invariance dimension on subsets. Moreover, a variational principle for BS invariance dimension on subsets is established.
We explore a linear inhomogeneous elasticity equation with random Lam\'e parameters. The latter are parameterized by a countably infinite number of terms in separated expansions. The main aim of this work is to estimate expected values (considered as an infinite dimensional integral on the parametric space corresponding to the random coefficients) of linear functionals acting on the solution of the elasticity equation. To achieve this, the expansions of the random parameters are truncated, a high-order quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) is combined with a sparse grid approach to approximate the high dimensional integral, and a Galerkin finite element method (FEM) is introduced to approximate the solution of the elasticity equation over the physical domain. The error estimates from (1) truncating the infinite expansion, (2) the Galerkin FEM, and (3) the QMC sparse grid quadrature rule are all studied. For this purpose, we show certain required regularity properties of the continuous solution with respect to both the parametric and physical variables. To achieve our theoretical regularity and convergence results, some reasonable assumptions on the expansions of the random coefficients are imposed. Finally, some numerical results are delivered.
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.
We consider rather general structural equation models (SEMs) between a target and its covariates in several shifted environments. Given $k\in\N$ shifts we consider the set of shifts that are at most $\gamma$-times as strong as a given weighted linear combination of these $k$ shifts and the worst (quadratic) risk over this entire space. This worst risk has a nice decomposition which we refer to as the "worst risk decomposition". Then we find an explicit arg-min solution that minimizes the worst risk and consider its corresponding plug-in estimator which is the main object of this paper. This plug-in estimator is (almost surely) consistent and we first prove a concentration in measure result for it. The solution to the worst risk minimizer is rather reminiscent of the corresponding ordinary least squares solution in that it is product of a vector and an inverse of a Grammian matrix. Due to this, the central moments of the plug-in estimator is not well-defined in general, but we instead consider these moments conditioned on the Grammian inverse being bounded by some given constant. We also study conditional variance of the estimator with respect to a natural filtration for the incoming data. Similarly we consider the conditional covariance matrix with respect to this filtration and prove a bound for the determinant of this matrix. This SEM model generalizes the linear models that have been studied previously for instance in the setting of casual inference or anchor regression but the concentration in measure result and the moment bounds are new even in the linear setting.
An abstract property (H) is the key to a complete a priori error analysis in the (discrete) energy norm for several nonstandard finite element methods in the recent work [Lowest-order equivalent nonstandard finite element methods for biharmonic plates, Carstensen and Nataraj, M2AN, 2022]. This paper investigates the impact of (H) to the a posteriori error analysis and establishes known and novel explicit residual-based a posteriori error estimates. The abstract framework applies to Morley, two versions of discontinuous Galerkin, $C^0$ interior penalty, as well as weakly over-penalized symmetric interior penalty schemes for the biharmonic equation with a general source term in $H^{-2}(\Omega)$.
This work is concerned with the uniform accuracy of implicit-explicit backward differentiation formulas for general linear hyperbolic relaxation systems satisfying the structural stability condition proposed previously by the third author. We prove the uniform stability and accuracy of a class of IMEX-BDF schemes discretized spatially by a Fourier spectral method. The result reveals that the accuracy of the fully discretized schemes is independent of the relaxation time in all regimes. It is verified by numerical experiments on several applications to traffic flows, rarefied gas dynamics and kinetic theory.
We couple the L1 discretization of the Caputo fractional derivative in time with the Galerkin scheme to devise a linear numerical method for the semilinear subdiffusion equation. Two important points that we make are: nonsmooth initial data and time-dependent diffusion coefficient. We prove the stability and convergence of the method under weak assumptions concerning regularity of the diffusivity. We find optimal pointwise in space and global in time errors, which are verified with several numerical experiments.
We propose a finite element discretization for the steady, generalized Navier-Stokes equations for fluids with shear-dependent viscosity, completed with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and an inhomogeneous divergence constraint. We establish (weak) convergence of discrete solutions as well as a priori error estimates for the velocity vector field and the scalar kinematic pressure. Numerical experiments complement the theoretical findings.
We present a multigrid algorithm to solve efficiently the large saddle-point systems of equations that typically arise in PDE-constrained optimization under uncertainty. The algorithm is based on a collective smoother that at each iteration sweeps over the nodes of the computational mesh, and solves a reduced saddle-point system whose size depends on the number $N$ of samples used to discretized the probability space. We show that this reduced system can be solved with optimal $O(N)$ complexity. We test the multigrid method on three problems: a linear-quadratic problem, possibly with a local or a boundary control, for which the multigrid method is used to solve directly the linear optimality system; a nonsmooth problem with box constraints and $L^1$-norm penalization on the control, in which the multigrid scheme is used within a semismooth Newton iteration; a risk-adverse problem with the smoothed CVaR risk measure where the multigrid method is called within a preconditioned Newton iteration. In all cases, the multigrid algorithm exhibits excellent performances and robustness with respect to the parameters of interest.
