This paper proposes a numerical method, termed PosDiv-CDG, that provably preserves both positivity and the globally divergence-free (DF) condition at arbitrarily high order in multiple dimensions. It resolves the fundamental structural…

We consider the method-of-moments approach to solve the Boltzmann equation of rarefied gas dynamics, which results in the following moment-closure problem. Given a set of moments, find the underlying probability density function. The…

The micro-macro (mM) decomposition approach is considered for the numerical solution of the Vlasov--Poisson--Lenard--Bernstein (VPLB) system, which is relevant for plasma physics applications. In the mM approach, the kinetic distribution…

The maximum entropy principle is a powerful tool for solving underdetermined inverse problems. This paper considers the problem of discretizing a continuous distribution, which arises in various applied fields. We obtain the approximating…

This paper proposes a fully discrete method called the symplectic dG full discretization for stochastic Maxwell equations driven by additive noises, based on a stochastic symplectic method in time and a discontinuous Galerkin (dG) method…

For finite element approximations of transport phenomena, it is often necessary to apply a form of limiting to ensure that the discrete solution remains well-behaved and satisfies physical constraints. However, these limiting procedures are…

High-order entropy-stable discontinuous Galerkin methods for the compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations require the positivity of thermodynamic quantities in order to guarantee their well-posedness. In this work, we introduce a…

In this paper we establish best approximation property of fully discrete Galerkin solutions of second order parabolic problems on convex polygonal and polyhedral domains in the $L^\infty(I;W^{1,\infty}(\Om))$ norm. The discretization method…

This paper provides a unified perspective for the Kullback-Leibler (KL)-divergence and the integral probability metrics (IPMs) from the perspective of maximum likelihood density-ratio estimation (DRE). Both the KL-divergence and the IPMs…

In this article, we consider discrete schemes for a fractional diffusion equation involving a tempered fractional derivative in time. We present a semi-discrete scheme by using the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) discretization in the…

We develop Distributionally Robust Optimization (DRO) formulations for Multivariate Linear Regression (MLR) and Multiclass Logistic Regression (MLG) when both the covariates and responses/labels may be contaminated by outliers. The DRO…

This paper studies the problem of steering the distribution of a discrete-time dynamical system from an initial distribution to a target distribution in finite time. The formulation is fully nonlinear, allowing the use of general control…

We consider distributed estimation of the inverse covariance matrix, also called the concentration or precision matrix, in Gaussian graphical models. Traditional centralized estimation often requires global inference of the covariance…

We analyze, from the viewpoint of positivity preservation, certain discretizations of a fundamental partial differential equation, the one-dimensional advection equation with periodic boundary condition. The full discretization is obtained…

We introduce a new concept of the locally conservative flux and investigate its relationship with the compatible discretization pioneered by Dawson, Sun and Wheeler [11]. We then demonstrate how the new concept of the locally conservative…

In this paper we discuss the local discontinuous Galerkin methods coupled with two specific explicit-implicit-null time discretizations for solving one-dimensional nonlinear diffusion problems $U_t=(a(U)U_x)_x$. The basic idea is to add and…

In this paper we consider the semi-discretization in space of a first order scalar transport equation. For the space discretization we use standard continuous finite elements. To obtain stability we add a penalty on the jump of the gradient…

Fully discrete Galerkin finite element methods are studied for the equations of miscible displacement in porous media with the commonly-used Bear--Scheidegger diffusion-dispersion tensor: $$ D({\bf u}) = \gamma d_m I + |{\bf u}|\bigg(…
