We analyze the anti-symmetric properties of a spectral discretization for the one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson equations. The discretization is based on a spectral expansion in velocity with the symmetrically weighted Hermite basis functions,…
Mathematical descriptions of flow phenomena usually come in the form of partial differential equations. The differential operators used in these equations may have properties such as symmetry, skew-symmetry, positive or negative…
Differential flatness serves as a powerful tool for controlling continuous time nonlinear systems in problems such as motion planning and trajectory tracking. A similar notion, called difference flatness, exists for discrete-time systems.…
We develop structure preserving schemes for a class of nonlinear mobility continuity equation. When the mobility is a concave function, this equation admits a form of gradient flow with respect to a Wasserstein-like transport metric. Our…
