Abstract

In this work, we develop an hp-adaptive minimum action method (MAM). MAM plays an important role to minimize the Freidlin-Wentzell action functional, which is the central object of the Freidlin-Wentzell theory of large deviations for transitions induced by small random perturbations. Because of the demanding computation cost, especially in spatially extended systems, numerical efficiency is a critical issue for MAM. Difficulties come from discretizations of both time and space. One hurdle for the application of MAM to large scale systems is the global reparametrization in time direction, which is required by most versions of MAM. We recently introduced a new version of MAM in [25], called tMAM, where we used some simple heuristic criteria to demonstrate that tMAM can be effectively coupled with h-adaptivity. The target of this paper is to integrate hp-adaptivity into tMAM using a posterior error estimation techniques. More specifically, we use the arc length constraint given by geometric minimum action method (gMAM) to define an indicator of the effect of linear time scaling in tMAM, and the derivative recovery technique to construct an error indicator and a regularity indicator for hp-refinement. Numerical results are presented.

Sensitivity technologies for large scale simulation.

Technical Report Collis, Samuel Scott ; Bartlett, Roscoe Ainsworth ; Smith, Thomas Michael ; ...

Sensitivity analysis is critically important to numerous analysis algorithms, including large scale optimization, uncertainty quantification,reduced order modeling, and error estimation. Our research focused on developing tools, algorithms and standard interfaces to facilitate the implementation of sensitivity type analysis into existing code and equally important, the work was focused on ways to increase the visibility of sensitivity analysis. We attempt to accomplish the first objective through the development of hybrid automatic differentiation tools, standard linear algebra interfaces for numerical algorithms, time domain decomposition algorithms and two level Newton methods. We attempt to accomplish the second goal by presenting the results ofmore »« less

A wavelet-MRA-based adaptive semi-Lagrangian method for the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system

Journal Article Besse, Nicolas ; Latu, Guillaume ; Ghizzo, Alain ; ... - Journal of Computational Physics

In this paper we present a new method for the numerical solution of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system on a phase-space grid using an adaptive semi-Lagrangian method. The adaptivity is performed through a wavelet multiresolution analysis, which gives a powerful and natural refinement criterion based on the local measurement of the approximation error and regularity of the distribution function. Therefore, the multiscale expansion of the distribution function allows to get a sparse representation of the data and thus save memory space and CPU time. We apply this numerical scheme to reduced Vlasov-Maxwell systems arising in laser-plasma physics. Interaction of relativistically strongmore »« less

Coupled Space-Angle Adaptivitiy for Radiation Transport Calculations

Journal Article HyeongKae Park ; Cassiano de Oliveira - Nuclear Science and Engineering

This paper describes the development of a coupled space-angle a posteriori error analysis and adaptive method for radiation transport calculations based on the second-order, even-parity form of the transport equation discretized by a variational finite element-spherical harmonics method (FE-PN). Rigorous a posteriori error estimates for the global L2 norm in the even-parity angular flux are derived by utilizing duality arguments. Separate error components for the spatial and angular discretizations are obtained by the adaptive algorithm by first seeking convergence in the spatial variable and then by projecting the spatially converged solution onto the higher-order PN equation to estimate the angularmore »« less

Construction of the landscape for multi-stable systems: Potential landscape, quasi-potential, A-type integral and beyond

Journal Article Zhou, Peijie, E-mail: cliffzhou@pku.edu.cn ; Li, Tiejun, E-mail: tieli@pku.edu.cn - Journal of Chemical Physics

Motivated by the famous Waddington’s epigenetic landscape metaphor in developmental biology, biophysicists and applied mathematicians made different proposals to construct the landscape for multi-stable complex systems. We aim to summarize and elucidate the relationships among these theories from a mathematical point of view. We systematically investigate and compare three different but closely related realizations in the recent literature: the Wang’s potential landscape theory from steady state distribution of stochastic differential equations (SDEs), the Freidlin-Wentzell quasi-potential from the large deviation theory, and the construction through SDE decomposition and A-type integral. We revisit that the quasi-potential is the zero noise limit ofmore »« less

Adaptive Mixed GMsFEM for Flows in Heterogeneous Media

Journal Article Chan, Ho Yuen ; Chung, Eric ; Efendiev, Yalchin - Numerical Mathematics: Theory, Methods and Applications

Abstract In this paper, we present two adaptive methods for the basis enrichment of the mixed Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Method (GMsFEM) for solving the flow problem in heterogeneous media. We develop an a-posteriori error indicator which depends on the norm of a local residual operator. Based on this indicator, we construct an offline adaptive method to increase the number of basis functions locally in coarse regions with large local residuals. We also develop an online adaptive method which iteratively enriches the function space by adding new functions computed based on the residual of the previous solution and special minimummore »« less
