This spectrum coincides with the union of segments which all go to $+infty$ as $eps$ tends to zero due to the Dirichlet boundary condition. We show that the first spectral segment is extremely tight, of length $O(e^{-delta/eps})$, $delta>0$, while the length of the next spectral segments is $O(eps)$. To establish these results, we need to study in detail the properties of the Dirichlet Laplacian $A^{Om}$ in the geometry $Om$ obtained by zooming at the junction regions of the initial periodic lattice. This problem has its own interest and playing with symmetries together with max-min arguments as well as a well-chosen Friedrichs inequality, we prove that $A^{Om}$ has a unique eigenvalue in its discrete spectrum, which generates the first spectral segment. Additionally we show that there is no threshold resonance for $A^{Om}$, that is no non trivial bounded solution at the threshold frequency for $A^{Om}$. This implies that the correct 1D model of the lattice for the next spectral segments is a system of ordinary differential equations set on the limit graph with Dirichlet conditions at the vertices. We also present numerics to complement the analysis.","PeriodicalId":51249,"journal":{"name":"Esaim-Probability and Statistics","volume":"380 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134946892","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}

Their use in discretizations is typical of Trefftz methods for Helmholtz problems, aiming to achieve high accuracy with a small number of degrees of freedom. However, Trefftz methods lead to ill-conditioned linear systems, and it is often impossible to obtain the desired accuracy in floating-point arithmetic. In this paper we show that a judicious choice of plane waves can ensure high-accuracy solutions in a numerically stable way, in spite of having to solve such ill-conditioned systems. Numerical accuracy of plane wave methods is linked not only to the approximation space, but also to the size of the coefficients in the plane wave expansion. We show that the use of plane waves can lead to exponentially large coefficients, regardless of the orientations and the number of plane waves, and this causes numerical instability. We prove that all Helmholtz fields are continuous superposition of evanescent plane waves, i.e., plane waves with complex propagation vectors associated with exponential decay, and show that this leads to bounded representations. We provide a constructive scheme to select a set of real and complex-valued propagation vectors numerically. This results in an explicit selection of plane waves and an associated Trefftz method that achieves accuracy and stability. The theoretical analysis is provided for a two-dimensional domain with circular shape. However, the principles are general and we conclude the paper with a numerical experiment demonstrating practical applicability also for polygonal domains.","PeriodicalId":51249,"journal":{"name":"Esaim-Probability and Statistics","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135548675","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}

We combine a MUSCL-type spatial reconstruction with strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta time-stepping to devise a fully discrete second-order scheme. The resulting scheme is shown to converge to a weak solution by establishing the maximum principle, bounded variation estimates and L1 Lipschitz continuity in time. Further, using a space-step dependent slope limiter, we prove its convergence to the entropy solution. We also propose a MUSCL-Hancock type second-order scheme which requires only one intermediate stage unlike the Runge-Kutta schemes and is easier to implement. The performance of the proposed second-order schemes in comparison to a first-order scheme is demonstrated through several numerical experiments.","PeriodicalId":51249,"journal":{"name":"Esaim-Probability and Statistics","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135791508","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}

Such a comparison is a crucial step in recent techniques for proving exponential convergence to a quasi-stationary distribution. We introduce a weak form of the Harnack inequality as the essential ingredient for such a comparison. This property is actually a consequence of the convergence property we intend to prove. Its complexity appears as the price to pay for the level of flexibility required by our applications, notably for processes with jumps on a multidimensional state-space. We show in our illustrations how simply and efficiently it can be used nonetheless. As illustrations, we consider two continuous-time processes on [[EQUATION]] that do not satisfy the classical Harnack inequalities, even in a local version. The first one is a piecewise deterministic process while the second is a pure jump process with restrictions on the directions of its jumps.","PeriodicalId":51249,"journal":{"name":"Esaim-Probability and Statistics","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131268","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}

They allow for the sedimentation and compression of solid particles of biomass simultaneously with biochemical reactions with nutrients dissolved in the liquid. The kinetics of these reactions may be given by one of the established activated sludge models (ASMx). An SBR is operated in various stages and is equipped with a movable extraction and fill device and a discharge opening. A one-dimensional model of this unit can be formulated as a moving-boundary problem for a degenerating system of convection-diffusion-reaction equations whose unknowns are the concentrations of the components forming the solid and liquid phases, respectively. This model is transformed to a fixed computational domain and is discretized by an explicit monotone scheme along with an alternative semi-implicit variant. The semi-implicit variant is based on solving, during each time step, a system of nonlinear equations for the total solids concentration followed by the solution of linear systems for the solid component percentages and liquid component concentrations. It is demonstrated that the semi-implicit scheme is well posed and that both variants produce approximations that satisfy an invariant region principle: solids concentrations are nonnegative and less or equal to a set maximal one, percentages are nonnegative and sum up to one, and substrate concentrations are nonnegative. These properties are achieved under a Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) condition that is less restrictive for the semi-implicit than for the explicit variant. Numerical examples with realistic parameters illustrate that as a consequence, the semi-implicit variant is more efficient than the explicit one.","PeriodicalId":51249,"journal":{"name":"Esaim-Probability and Statistics","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136236636","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}
