A novel intrusive Galerkin formulation is presented and proven to be hyperbolic.

The main issue of the paper is to investigate the critical case with $lambda=1$. We first prove that, for all cases with $lambda gt 0$ and $mu gt 0$ (including the critical case of $lambda=1$), once the initial data is steep at a point, then the solutions are locally bounded but their derivatives will blow up in finite time, by means of the method of Riemann invariants and the technical convex analysis. Secondly, for the critical case of $lambda=1$ with $mu gt 7/3$, we prove that there exists a unique global solution, once the initial perturbation around the constant steady-state is sufficiently small. In particular, we derive the algebraic convergence rates of the solution to the constant steady-state, which are piecewise, related to the parameter $mu$ for $7/3 lt mu leq 3$, $3 lt mu leq 4$ and $mu gt 4$. The adopted method of proof in this critical case is the technical time-weighted energy method and the time-weight depends on the parameter $mu$. Finally, we carry out some numerical simulations in two cases for blow-up and global existence, respectively, which numerically confirm our theoretical results.","PeriodicalId":50659,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Mathematical Sciences","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138555866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the loss function is a sum of multiple terms, a popular method is the stochastic gradient descent. Viewed as a process for sampling the loss function landscape, the stochastic gradient descent is known to prefer flat minima. Though this is desired for certain optimization problems such as in deep learning, it causes issues when the goal is to find the global minimum, especially if the global minimum resides in a sharp valley. Illustrated with a simple motivating example, we show that the fundamental reason is that the difference in the Lipschitz constants of multiple terms in the loss function causes stochastic gradient descent to experience different gradient variances at different minima. In order to mitigate this effect and perform faithful optimization, we propose a combined resampling-reweighting scheme to balance the variance at local minima and extend to general loss functions. We explain from the numerical stability perspective how the proposed scheme is more likely to select the true global minimum, and from the local convergence analysis perspective how it converges to a minimum faster when compared with the vanilla stochastic gradient descent. Experiments from robust statistics and computational chemistry are provided to demonstrate the theoretical findings.","PeriodicalId":50659,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Mathematical Sciences","volume":"1219 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138515178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
