The scheme is explicit and can be implemented using the fast Fourier transform. By a rigorous analysis, we prove that the new scheme provides the first order accuracy in $H^gamma$ for any initial data belonging to $H^gamma$, for any $gamma >frac32$. That is, up to some fixed time $T$, there exists some constant $C=C(|u|_{L^infty([0,T]; H^{gamma})})>0$, such that $$ |u^n-u(t_n)|_{H^gamma(mathbb T)}le C tau, $$ where $u^n$ denotes the numerical solution at $t_n=ntau$. Moreover, the mass of the numerical solution $M(u^n)$ verifies $$ left|M(u^n)-M(u_0)right|le Ctau^5. $$ In particular, our scheme dose not cost any additional derivative for the first-order convergence and the numerical solution obeys the almost mass conservation law. Furthermore, if $u_0in H^1(mathbb T)$, we rigorously prove that $$ |u^n-u(t_n)|_{H^1(mathbb T)}le Ctau^{frac12-}, $$ where $C= C(|u_0|_{H^1(mathbb T)})>0$.","PeriodicalId":18301,"journal":{"name":"Math.

The treatment utilizes the framework of “balance laws”. Such laws express the relevant physical conservation laws in the presence of discontinuities. Finite volume approximations employ this viewpoint, and the present paper can be regarded as being in this category. It is first shown that under very mild conditions a weak solution is indeed a solution to the balance law. The schemes considered here allow the computation of several quantities per mesh cell (e.g., slopes) and the notion of consistency must be extended to this framework. Then a suitable convergence theorem is established, generalizing the classical convergence theorem of Lax and Wendroff. Finally, the limit functions are shown to be entropy solutions by using a notion of “Godunov compatibility”, which serves as a substitute to the entropy condition.","PeriodicalId":18301,"journal":{"name":"Math.

To understand the energy structure of the PNP model, we make use of the Energetic Variational Approach (EnVarA), so that the PNP system could be reformulated as a non-constant mobility \u0000\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 H\u0000 \u0000 −\u0000 1\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 H^{-1}\u0000 \u0000\u0000 gradient flow, with singular logarithmic energy potentials involved. To ensure the unique solvability and energy stability, the mobility function is explicitly treated, while both the logarithmic and the electric potential diffusion terms are treated implicitly, due to the convex nature of these two energy functional parts. The positivity-preserving property for both concentrations, \u0000\u0000 \u0000 n\u0000 n\u0000 \u0000\u0000 and \u0000\u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 p\u0000 \u0000\u0000, is established at a theoretical level. This is based on the subtle fact that the singular nature of the logarithmic term around the value of \u0000\u0000 \u0000 0\u0000 0\u0000 \u0000\u0000 prevents the numerical solution reaching the singular value, so that the numerical scheme is always well-defined. In addition, an optimal rate convergence analysis is provided in this work, in which many highly non-standard estimates have to be involved, due to the nonlinear parabolic coefficients. The higher order asymptotic expansion (up to third order temporal accuracy and fourth order spatial accuracy), the rough error estimate (to establish the \u0000\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 ℓ\u0000 ∞\u0000 \u0000 ell ^infty\u0000 \u0000\u0000 bound for \u0000\u0000 \u0000 n\u0000 n\u0000 \u0000\u0000 and \u0000\u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 p\u0000 \u0000\u0000), and the refined error estimate have to be carried out to accomplish such a convergence result. In our knowledge, this work will be the first to combine the following three theoretical properties for a numerical scheme for the PNP system: (i) unique solvability and positivity, (ii) energy stability, and (iii) optimal rate convergence. A few numerical results are also presented in this article, which demonstrates the robustness of the proposed numerical scheme.","PeriodicalId":18301,"journal":{"name":"Math. Comput.

The goal is to compute the Tamagawa number of that torus explicitly via Ono's formula that expresses it as a ratio of cohomological invariants. A fairly complete and detailed description of the cohomology of the character lattice of such a torus is given when $K/k$ is Galois. Partial results including the numerator are given when the extension is not Galois, or more generally when the torus is defined by an etale algebra. \u0000We also present tools developed in SAGE for this purpose, allowing us to build and compute the cohomology and explore the local-global principles for such an algebraic torus. \u0000Particular attention is given to the case when $[K:K^+]=2$ and $K$ is a CM-field. This case corresponds to tori in $mathrm{GSp}_{2n}$, and most examples will be in that setting.
