Spectral analysis and sine transform based preconditioning for a structure preserving stabilized scheme approximating the space-fractional Allen Cahn equation with logarithmic potential

We consider an initial boundary value problem of the space fractional Allen-Cahn equation with logarithmic Flory-Huggins potential. As an approximation technique, first-order weighted and shifted Grunwald difference formulae of the left and right fractional derivatives are used. The main focus of the present work is to study the spectral features of the underlying matrices and matrix sequences and to design proper preconditioners based on the spectral information. Then a computational and spectral analysis of the resulting preconditioned matrix sequences is performed. Numerical evidence and a short list of open problems complete the current study.

A note on the convergence of multigrid methods for the Riesz-space equation and an application to image deblurring

In the past decades, a remarkable amount of research has been carried out regarding fast solvers for large linear systems resulting from various discretizations of fractional differential equations (FDEs). In the current work, we focus on multigrid methods for a Riesz-space FDE whose theoretical convergence analysis of such multigrids is currently limited to the two-grid method. Here we provide a detailed theoretical convergence study in the case of V-cycle and W-cycle. Moreover, we discuss its use combined with a band approximation and we compare the result with both $τ$ and circulant preconditionings. The numerical tests include 2D problems as well as the extension to the case of a Riesz-FDE with variable coefficients. Finally, we apply the best-performing method to an image deblurring problem with Tikhonov regularization.
