A variant of the block preconditioner for indefinite complex symmetric linear systems

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient preconditioner for solving indefinite complex symmetric linear systems within a block preconditioning framework. We analyze the convergence of the corresponding iterative method and investigate several spectral properties of the preconditioned matrix, including eigenvalue distributions and eigenvector structures. The new preconditioner is used to accelerate the convergence of the flexible version of GMRES. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed preconditioner, and comparisons with existing block preconditioners demonstrate its superior performance.

Advancements in Spectral Collocation Methods for High-Order Eigenvalue Problems

This paper focuses on computing spectral solutions for high-order eigenvalue problems using an efficient discretization method based on Chebfun spectral discretization algorithms and domain truncation. We solve several numerical eigenvalue problems, demonstrating both the accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed approach.

Optimal control of fractional diffusion with Dirac measures

We study a PDE-constrained optimization problem for an elliptic equation with the spectral fractional Laplacian and a linear combination of Dirac measures as the forcing term; the controls are the amplitudes of these singular sources. We prove existence and uniqueness of an optimal solution and derive first-order optimality conditions. We then propose a discretization based on finite elements. Since the set of admissible controls is finite dimensional, the control variable itself does not require discretization. We conclude by deriving a priori error bounds

Overcoming the spatial order barrier for nonlinear SPDEs with additive space-time white noise

We introduce a fully discrete numerical scheme for semilinear SPDEs with additive space-time white noise that overcomes the previous order barrier for the spatial convergence rate. The scheme achieves a strong convergence rate of $M^{-1+ε}$ in time and $N^{-3/2+ε}$ in space for any $ε>0$, where $M^{-1}$ and $N^{-1}$ are the temporal, respectively the spatial, meshsizes. This substantially improves the standard spatial error bounds of order $N^{-1/2}$ in the literature.
