Abstract We consider time discretization methods for abstract parabolic problems with inhomogeneous linear constraints. Prototype examples that fit into the general framework are the heat equation with inhomogeneous (time-dependent) Dirichlet boundary conditions and the time-dependent Stokes equation with an inhomogeneous divergence constraint. Two common ways of treating such linear constraints, namely explicit or implicit (via Lagrange multipliers) are studied. These different treatments lead to different variational formulations of the parabolic problem. For these formulations we introduce a modification of the standard discontinuous Galerkin (DG) time discretization method in which an appropriate projection is used in the discretization of the constraint. For these discretizations (optimal) error bounds, including superconvergence results, are derived. Discretization error bounds for the Lagrange multiplier are presented. Results of experiments confirm the theoretically predicted optimal convergence rates and show that without the modification the (standard) DG method has sub-optimal convergence behavior.

Let q ≥ 2 be a positive integer and let ( a j ) , ( b j ) and ( c j ) (with j nonnegative integer) be three given C -valued and q-periodic sequences. Let A ( q ) : = A q − 1 ⋯ A 0 , where A j is defined below. Assume that the eigenvalues x , y , z of the “monodromy matrix” A ( q ) verify the condition ( x − y ) ( y − z ) ( z − x ) ≠ 0 . We prove that the linear recurrence in C x n + 3 = a n x n + 2 + b n x n + 1 + c n x n , n ∈ Z + is Hyers–Ulam stable if and only if ( | x | − 1 ) ( | y | − 1 ) ( | z | − 1 ) ≠ 0 , i.e., the spectrum of A ( q ) does not intersect the unit circle Γ : = { w ∈ C : | w | = 1 } .

Abstract We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with dispersion modulated by a (formal) derivative of a time-dependent function with fractional Sobolev regularity of class $W^{\alpha ,2}$ for some $\alpha \in (0,1)$. Due to the loss of smoothness in the problem, classical numerical methods face severe order reduction. In this work, we develop and analyze a new randomized exponential integrator based on a stratified Monte Carlo approximation. The new discretization technique averages the high oscillations in the solution allowing for improved convergence rates of order $\alpha +1/2$. In addition, the new approach allows us to treat a far more general class of modulations than the available literature. Numerical results underline our theoretical findings and show the favorable error behavior of our new scheme compared to classical methods.

AbstractIn this paper we prove the existence of invariant curves and thus stability for all time for a class of Hamiltonian systems with time-dependent potentials, namely, for systems of the formwhereis a superquadratic polynomial potential with periodic coefficients. As a limiting case, a proof of the stability of Ulam's problem of a particle bouncing between two periodicially moving walls is given.

AbstractWe establish vortex dynamics for the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau equation for asymptotically large numbers of vortices for the problem without a gauge field and either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. As our main tool, we establish quantitative bounds on several fundamental quantities, including the kinetic energy, that lead to explicit convergence rates. For dilute vortex liquids, we prove that sequences of solutions converge to the hydrodynamic limit.

A second-order “Time-Dependent Multiple Balance” (TDMB) method for solving neutron transport problems is introduced and investigated. TDMB consists of solving two coupled equations: (i) the original balance equation (the transport equation integrated over a time step) and (ii) the “balance-like” auxiliary equation (an approximate neutron balance equation). Simple analysis shows that TDMB is second-order accurate and robust (unconditionally free from spurious oscillation). A source iteration (SI) method with diffusion synthetic acceleration (DSA) is formulated to solve these equations. A Fourier analysis reveals that the convergence rates of the proposed iteration schemes for TDMB are similar to those of the common (SI + DSA) schemes for Backward Euler (BE); however, TDMB requires about twice the computational effort per iteration. To demonstrate the theory—accuracy, robustness, and convergence rate—and investigate the efficiency of TDMB, we present results from a discrete ordinates (Sn) research code. Results are discussed, and future work is proposed.

Let q ≥ 2 be a positive integer and let ( a j ) , ( b j ) , and ( c j ) (with j a non-negative integer) be three given C -valued and q-periodic sequences. Let A ( q ) : = A q − 1 ⋯ A 0 , where A j is as is given below. Assuming that the “monodromy matrix” A ( q ) has at least one multiple eigenvalue, we prove that the linear scalar recurrence x n + 3 = a n x n + 2 + b n x n + 1 + c n x n , n ∈ Z + is Hyers-Ulam stable if and only if the spectrum of A ( q ) does not intersect the unit circle Γ : = { w ∈ C : | w | = 1 } . Connecting this result with a recently obtained one it follows that the above linear recurrence is Hyers-Ulam stable if and only if the spectrum of A ( q ) does not intersect the unit circle.

The regularization of ill-posed problems has become a useful tool in studying initial value problems that do not adhere to certain desired properties such as continuous dependence of solutions on initial data. Because direct computation of the solution becomes difficult in this situation, many authors have alternatively approximated the solution by the solution of a closely defined well posed problem. In this paper, we demonstrate this process of regularization for nonautonomous ill-posed problems including the backward heat equation with a time-dependent diffusion coefficient. In the process, we provide two different approximate well posed models and numerically compare convergence rates of their solutions to a known solution of the original ill-posed problem.
