Parameter uniform numerical methods for singularly perturbed delay parabolic differential equations with non-local boundary condition

The motive of this paper is, to develop accurate and parameter uniform numerical method for solving singularly perturbed delay parabolic differential equation with non-local boundary condition exhibiting parabolic boundary layers. Also, the delay term that occurs in the space variable gives rise to interior layer. Fitted operator finite difference method on uniform mesh that uses the procedures of method of line for spatial discretization and backward Euler method for the resulting system of initial value problems in temporal direction is considered. To treat the non-local boundary condition, Simpsons rule is applied. The stability and parameter uniform convergence for the proposed method are proved. To validate the applicability of the scheme, numerical examples are presented and solved for different values of the perturbation parameter. The method is shown to be accurate of O(h2 + △t) . Finally, conclusion of the work is included at the end.

Quantum chaos, thermodynamics and black hole microstates in the mass deformed SYK model

We study various aspects of the mass deformation of the SYK model which makes the black hole microstates escapable. SYK boundary states are given by a simple local boundary condition on the Majorana fermions and then evolved in Euclidean time in the SYK Hamiltonian. We study the ground state of this mass deformed SYK model in detail. We also use SYK boundary states as a variational approximation to the ground state of the mass deformed SYK model. We compare variational approximation with the exact ground state results and they showed a good agreement. We also study the time evolution of the mass deformed ground state under the SYK Hamiltonian. We give a gravity interpretation of the mass deformed ground state and its time evolutions. In gravity side, mass deformation gives a way to prepare black hole microstates that are similar to pure boundary state black holes. Escaping protocol on these ground states simply gives a global AdS2 with an IR end of the world brane. We also study the thermodynamics and quantum chaotic properties of this mass deformed SYK model. Interestingly, we do not observe the Hawking Page like phase transition in this model in spite of similarity of the Hamiltonian with eternal traversable wormhole model where we have the phase transition.

Accelerated fitted operator finite difference method for singularly perturbed delay differential equations with non-local boundary condition

In this paper, accelerated fitted finite difference method for solving singularly perturbed delay differential equation with non-local boundary condition is considered. To treat the non-local boundary condition, Simpson’s rule is applied. The stability and parameter uniform convergence for the proposed method are proved. To validate the applicability of the scheme, two model problems are considered for numerical experimentation and solved for different values of the perturbation parameter ε and mesh size h. The numerical results are tabulated in terms of maximum absolute errors and rate of convergence, and it is observed that the present method is more accurate and ε-uniformly convergent for h ≥ ε where the classical numerical methods fails to give good result, and it also improves the results of the methods existing in the literature.

Accurate boundary treatment for time-dependent 3D Schrödinger equation under Spherical coordinates

We propose a novel local boundary condition for three-dimensional Schrödinger equation under spherical coordinates. It is based on the approximate linear relationship among the Bessel functions from a free one-dimensional Schrödinger equation. With a variable transform, the novel boundary condition is a simple form of some ordinary differential equations, which relate the grid point near the numerical boundaries. Numerical tests and comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed boundary conditions.

Comparison between super-hydrophobic, liquid infused and rough surfaces: a direct numerical simulation study

Direct numerical simulations of two superposed fluids in a channel with a textured surface on the lower wall have been carried out. A parametric study varying the viscosity ratio between the two fluids has been performed to mimic both idealised super-hydrophobic and liquid-infused surfaces and assess its effect on the frictional, form and total drag for three different textured geometries: longitudinal square bars, transversal square bars and staggered cubes. The interface between the two fluids is assumed to be slippery in the streamwise and spanwise directions and not deformable in the vertical direction, corresponding to the ideal case of infinite surface tension. To identify the role of the fluid–fluid interface, an extra set of simulations with a single fluid has been carried out. Comparison with the cases with two fluids reveals the role of the interface in suppressing turbulent transport between the lubricating layer and the overlying flow decreasing the overall drag. In addition, the drag and the maximum wall-normal velocity fluctuations were found to be highly correlated for all the surface configurations, whether they reduce or increase the drag. This implies that the structure of the near-wall turbulence is dominated by the total shear and not by the local boundary condition of the super-hydrophobic, liquid infused or rough surfaces.
