Since classical SPH models are formulated under the ideal assumption of a uniform particle distribution, their accuracies deteriorate to zeroth order or worse when the particle configuration is disordered. Although numerous advanced SPH models have been developed that ensure the spatial discretization accuracies of first order or higher under non-ideal conditions, their similarities and differences remain unexplored. This has motivated us to construct a generalized formulation encompassing existing SPH models. Almost all of the classical SPH and the advanced SPH models can be mathematically unified by the generalized particle method based on the least squares fitting, namely, the moving least squares (MLS) method. By deriving its truncation error, we analytically evaluate and numerically verify the discretization errors of various SPH models. These results confirm that all the classical SPH models exhibit zeroth-order or “negative” first-order accuracy, whose error increases as the particle spacing decreases. This paper proposes a generalized SPH model based on the MLS scheme with arbitrary accuracy for spatial derivatives of any order. This model is referred to as the least squares SPH (LSSPH) model. Additionally, we perform some benchmark tests to validate the LSSPH model with second-order accuracy for the zeroth and the first derivatives and first-order accuracy for the second derivatives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36918,"journal":{"name":"Results in Applied Mathematics","volume":"26 ","pages":"Article 100594"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144261917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Commonly used kernel functions often assume symmetric distributions, limiting their ability to model skewed distributions. Many methods can simulate positively skewed distributions but fail to handle negatively skewed ones, and they tend to overestimate the probability density when the jump size is close to zero. This paper introduces a novel kernel density estimation method based on cosine functions for jump amplitude estimation. Our approach addresses these systematic errors, especially under large sample conditions, enabling more accurate statistical inference for the jump amplitude in stochastic differential equations with jumps.
