Such approach demonstrates fast uniform convergence at optimal solution in infinite-dimensional space.

SINE TRANSFORM PRECONDITIONERS FOR SECOND-ORDER PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this paper, we are concerned with the numerical solution of second-order partial differential equations. We analyse the use of the Sine Transform precondilioners for the solution of linear systems arising from the discretization of p.d.e. via the preconditioned conjugate gradient method. For the second-order partial differential equations with Dirichlel boundary conditions, we prove that the condition number of the preconditioned system is O(1) while the condition number of the original system is O(m 2) Here m is the number of interior gridpoints in each direction. Such condition number produces a linear convergence rale.

A Radial Basis Function Method with Improved Accuracy for Fourth Order Boundary Value Problems

Accurately approximating higher order derivatives is an inherently difficult problem. It is shown that a random variable shape parameter strategy can improve the accuracy of approximating higher order derivatives with Radial Basis Function methods. The method is used to solve fourth order boundary value problems. The use and location of ghost points are examined in order to enforce the extra boundary conditions that are necessary to make a fourth-order problem well posed. The use of ghost points versus solving an overdetermined linear system via least squares is studied. For a general fourth-order boundary value problem, the recommended approach is to either use one of two novel sets of ghost centers introduced here or else to use a least squares approach. When using either ghost centers or least squares, the random variable shape parameter strategy results in significantly better accuracy than when a constant shape parameter is used.

A Comparison Study of Deep Galerkin Method and Deep Ritz Method for Elliptic Problems with Different Boundary Conditions

Recent years have witnessed growing interests in solving partial differential equations by deep neural networks,especially in the high-dimensional case.Unlike classical numerical methods,such as finite difference method and finite element method,the enforcement of boundary conditions in deep neural networks is highly nontrivial.One general strategy is to use the penalty method.In the work,we conduct a comparison study for elliptic problems with four different boundary conditions,i.e.,Dirichlet,Neumann,Robin,and periodic boundary conditions,using two representative methods:deep Galerkin method and deep Ritz method.In the former,the PDE residual is minimized in the least-squares sense while the corresponding variational problem is minimized in the latter.Therefore,it is reasonably expected that deep Galerkin method works better for smooth solutions while deep Ritz method works better for low-regularity solutions.However,by a number of examples,we observe that deep Ritz method can outperform deep Galerkin method with a clear dependence of dimensionality even for smooth solutions and deep Galerkin method can also outperform deep Ritz method for low-regularity solutions.Besides,in some cases,when the boundary condition can be implemented in an exact manner,we find that such a strategy not only provides a better approximate solution but also facilitates the training process.

A numerical method based on boundary integral equations and radial basis functions for plane anisotropic thermoelastostatic equations with general variable coefficients

A boundary integral method with radial basis function approximation is proposed for numerically solving an important class of boundary value problems governed by a system of thermoelastostatic equations with variable coe?cients. The equations describe the thermoelastic behaviors of nonhomogeneous anisotropic materials with properties that vary smoothly from point to point in space. No restriction is imposed on the spatial variations of the thermoelastic coe?cients as long as all the requirements of the laws of physics are satis?ed. To check the validity and accuracy of the proposed numerical method, some speci?c test problems with known solutions are solved.

Numerical Solution of the Coupled Viscous Burgers’ Equation Using Differential Quadrature Method Based on Fourier Expansion Basis

The differential quadrature method based on Fourier expansion basis is applied in this work to solve coupled viscous Burgers’ equation with appropriate initial and boundary conditions. In the first step for the given problem we have discretized the interval and replaced the differential equation by the Differential quadrature method based on Fourier expansion basis to obtain a system of ordinary differential equation (ODE) then we implement the numerical scheme by computer programing and perform numerical solution. Finally the validation of the present scheme is demonstrated by numerical example and compared with some existing numerical methods in literature. The method is analyzed for stability and convergence. It is found that the proposed numerical scheme produces a good result as compared to other researcher’s result and even generates a value at the nodes or mesh points that the results have not seen yet.
