We consider finite element methods of multiscale type to approximate solutions for two-dimensional symmetric elliptic partial differential equations with heterogeneous [math] coefficients. The methods are of Galerkin type and follow the Variational Multiscale and Localized Orthogonal Decomposition (LOD) approaches in the sense that it decouples spaces into multiscale and fine subspaces. In a first method, the multiscale basis functions are obtained by mapping coarse basis functions, based on corners used on primal iterative substructuring methods, to functions of global minimal energy. This approach delivers quasi-optimal a priori error energy approximation with respect to the mesh size, but it is not robust with respect to high-contrast coefficients. In a second method, edge modes based on local generalized eigenvalue problems are added to the corner modes. As a result, optimal a priori error energy estimate is achieved which is mesh and contrast independent. The methods converge at optimal rate even if the solution has minimum regularity, belonging only to the Sobolev space [math].","PeriodicalId":49527,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143933581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we apply quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods with an initial preintegration step to estimate cumulative distribution functions and probability density functions in uncertainty quantification (UQ). The distribution and density functions correspond to a quantity of interest involving the solution to an elliptic partial differential equation (PDE) with a lognormally distributed coefficient and a normally distributed source term. There is extensive previous work on using QMC to compute expected values in UQ, which have proven very successful in tackling a range of different PDE problems. However, the use of QMC for density estimation applied to UQ problems will be explored here for the first time. Density estimation presents a more difficult challenge compared to computing the expected value due to discontinuities present in the integral formulations of both the distribution and density. Our strategy is to use preintegration to eliminate the discontinuity by integrating out a carefully selected random parameter, so that QMC can be used to approximate the remaining integral. First, we establish regularity results for the PDE quantity of interest that are required for smoothing by preintegration to be effective. We then show that an [math]-point lattice rule can be constructed for the integrands corresponding to the distribution and density, such that after preintegration the QMC error is of order [math] for arbitrarily small [math]. This is the same rate achieved for computing the expected value of the quantity of interest. Numerical results are presented to reaffirm our theory.","PeriodicalId":49527,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143916087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a new class of splitting methods to solve the stochastic Langevin equation, which can simultaneously preserve the ergodicity and exponential integrability of the original equation. The central idea is to extract a stochastic subsystem that possesses the strict dissipation from the original equation, which is inspired by the inheritance of the Lyapunov structure for obtaining the ergodicity. We prove that the exponential moment of the numerical solution is bounded, thus validating the exponential integrability of the proposed methods. Further, we show that under moderate verifiable conditions, the methods have the first-order convergence in both strong and weak senses, and we present several concrete splitting schemes based on the methods. The splitting strategy of methods can be readily extended to construct conformal symplectic methods and high-order methods that preserve both the ergodicity and the exponential integrability, as demonstrated in numerical experiments. Our numerical experiments also show that the proposed methods have good performance in the long-time simulation.","PeriodicalId":49527,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143884404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work is on a user-friendly reduced basis method for the solution of families of parametric partial differential equations by preconditioned Krylov subspace methods including the conjugate gradient method, generalized minimum residual method, and biconjugate gradient method. The proposed methods use a preconditioned Krylov subspace method for a high-fidelity discretization of one parameter instance to generate orthogonal basis vectors of the reduced basis subspace. Then large-scale discrete parameter-dependent problems are approximately solved in the low-dimensional Krylov subspace. We prove convergence estimates for the proposed method when the differential operator depends on two parameter coefficients and the preconditioner is the inverse of the operator at a fixed parameter. As is shown in numerical experiments, only a small number of Krylov subspace iterations are needed to simultaneously generate approximate solutions of a family of high-fidelity and large-scale parametrized systems in the reduced basis subspace. This reduces the computational cost by orders of magnitude, because (1) to construct the reduced basis vectors, we only solve one large-scale problem in the high-fidelity level; and (2) the family of problems restricted to the reduced basis subspace have much smaller sizes.","PeriodicalId":49527,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis","volume":"44 1","pages":"976-999"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143876070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structured [math]-stability radius is introduced as a quantity to assess the robustness of transient bounds of solutions to linear differential equations under structured perturbations of the matrix. This applies to general linear structures such as complex or real matrices with a given sparsity pattern or with restricted range and corange, or special classes such as Toeplitz matrices. The notion conceptually combines unstructured and structured pseudospectra in a joint pseudospectrum, allowing for the use of resolvent bounds as with unstructured pseudospectra and for structured perturbations as with structured pseudospectra. We propose and study an algorithm for computing the structured [math]-stability radius, which solves eigenvalue optimization problems via suitably discretized rank-1 matrix differential equations that originate from a gradient system. The proposed algorithm has essentially the same computational cost as the known rank-1 algorithms for computing unstructured and structured stability radii. Numerical experiments illustrate the behavior of the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":49527,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis","volume":"138 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143863066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose two efficient fully discrete schemes for [math]-tensor flow of liquid crystals by using the first- and second-order stabilized exponential scalar auxiliary variable (sESAV) approach in time and the finite difference method for spatial discretization. The modified discrete energy dissipation laws are unconditionally satisfied for both two constructed schemes. A particular feature is that, for two-dimensional (2D) and a kind of three-dimensional (3D) [math]-tensor flow, the unconditional maximum bound principle (MBP) preservation of the constructed first-order scheme is successfully established, and the proposed second-order scheme preserves the discrete MBP property with a mild restriction on the time-step sizes. Furthermore, we rigorously derive the corresponding error estimates for the fully discrete second-order schemes by using the built-in stability results.
