GB are high-frequency solutions whose propagation can be described, both at the continuous and at the semi-discrete levels, by microlocal tools along the bi-characteristics of the corresponding Hamiltonian. Their dynamics differ in the continuous and the semi-discrete setting, because of the high-frequency gap between the Hamiltonians. In particular, numerical high-frequency solutions can exhibit spurious pathological behaviors, such as lack of propagation in space, contrary to the classical space-time propagation properties of continuous waves. This gap between the behavior of continuous and numerical waves introduces also significant analytical difficulties, since classical GB constructions cannot be immediately extrapolated to the finite difference setting, and need to be properly tailored to accurately detect the propagation properties in discrete media. Our main objective in this paper is to present a general and rigorous construction of the GB ansatz for finite difference wave equations, and corroborate this construction through accurate numerical simulations.</p>","PeriodicalId":55151,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Computational Mathematics","volume":"42 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71516805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 present a unifying regularization functional that depends on an operator <span>(textrm{L})</span> and on a generic Radon-domain norm. We establish the existence of a minimizer and give the parametric form of the solution(s) under very mild assumptions. When the norm is Hilbertian, the proposed formulation yields a solution that involves radial-basis functions and is compatible with the classical methods of machine learning. By contrast, for the total-variation norm, the solution takes the form of a two-layer neural network with an activation function that is determined by the regularization operator. In particular, we retrieve the popular ReLU networks by letting the operator be the Laplacian. We also characterize the solution for the intermediate regularization norms <span>(Vert cdot Vert =Vert cdot Vert _{L_p})</span> with <span>(pin (1,2])</span>. Our framework offers guarantees of universal approximation for a broad family of regularization operators or, equivalently, for a wide variety of shallow neural networks, including the cases (such as ReLU) where the activation function is increasing polynomially.

In this paper, we establish a computer-assisted proof approach to determining relative indices of stationary states. We introduce the general framework and then focus on three example problems described by partial differential equations to show how these ideas work in practice.
