Main topics of the NumHyp-2015' discussion session

Three main topics were raised in this discussion session, which took place on the 19th of June at the NumHyp-2015 meeting: nonlinear resonance for 1D systems of balance laws, dispersive extensions of standard hyperbolic conservation laws, and the validation of weakly dispersive shallow water wave models. An introductory overview with many bibliographic references is provided for all these topics. Based on kinetic formulation, a numerical strategy that can overcome resonance issues is presented, and a well-balanced (WB) technique for Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equations is outlined. This WB scheme relies on the spectral representation of stationary solutions.

A well-balanced scheme for chemotactic travelling waves at the mesoscopic scale

We investigate numerically a model consisting in a kinetic equation for the biased motion of bacteria following a run-and-tumble process, coupled with two reaction-diffusion equations for chemical signals. This model exhibits asymptotic propagation at a constant speed. In particular, it admits travelling wave solutions. To capture this propagation, we propose a well-balanced numerical scheme based on Case's elementary solutions for the kinetic equation, and L-splines for the parabolic equations. We use this scheme to explore the Cauchy problem for various parameters. Some examples far from the diffusive regime lead to the coexistence of two waves travelling at different speeds. Numerical tests support the hypothesis that they are both locally asymptotically stable. Interestingly, the exploration of the bifurcation diagram raises counter-intuitive features.

Concentration waves of chemotactic bacteria: the discrete velocity case

The existence of travelling waves for a coupled system of hyperbolic/ parabolic equations is established in the case of a finite number of velocities in the kinetic equation. This finds application in collective motion of chemotactic bacteria. The analysis builds on the previous work by the first author (arXiv:1607.00429) in the case of a continuum of velocities. Here, the proof is specific to the discrete setting, based on the decomposition of the population density in special Case's modes. Some counter-intuitive results are discussed numerically, including the coexistence of several travelling waves for some sets of parameters, as well as the possible non-existence of travelling waves.

Some examples of kinetic scheme whose diffusion limit is Il'in's exponential-fitting

This paper is concerned with diffusive approximations of peculiar numerical schemes for several linear (or weakly nonlinear) kinetic models which are motivated by wide-range applications, including radiative transfer or neutron transport, run-and-tumble models of chemotaxis dynamics, and Vlasov-Fokker-Planck plasma modeling. The well-balanced method applied to such kinetic equations leads to time-marching schemes involving a '' scattering S-matrix '' , itself derived from a normal modes decomposition of the stationary solution. One common feature these models share is the type of diffusive approximation: their macroscopic densities solve drift-diffusion systems, for which a distinguished numerical scheme is Il'in/Scharfetter-Gummel's '' exponential fitting '' discretization. We prove that the well-balanced schemes relax, within a parabolic rescaling, towards the Il'in exponential-fitting discretization by means of an appropriate decomposition of the S-matrix. This is the so-called asymptotic preserving (or uniformly accurate) property.

Time--Splitting Schemes and Measure Source Terms for a Quasilinear Relaxing System

Several singular limits are investigated in the context of a $2 \times 2$ system arising for instance in the modeling of chromatographic processes. In particular, we focus on the case where the relaxation term and a $L^2$ projection operator are concentrated on a discrete lattice by means of Dirac measures. This formulation allows to study more easily some time-splitting numerical schemes.

Resolution of the finite Markov moment problem

We expose in full detail a constructive procedure to invert the so--called "finite Markov moment problem". The proofs rely on the general theory of Toeplitz matrices together with the classical Newton's relations.

Existence, uniqueness and a constructive solution algorithm for a class of finite Markov moment problems

We consider a class of finite Markov moment problems with arbitrary number of positive and negative branches. We show criteria for the existence and uniqueness of solutions, and we characterize in detail the non-unique solution families. Moreover, we present a constructive algorithm to solve the moment problems numerically and prove that the algorithm computes the right solution.

Chirplet approximation of band-limited, real signals made easy

In this paper we present algorithms for approximating real band-limited signals by multiple Gaussian Chirps. These algorithms do not rely on matching pursuit ideas. They are hierarchial and, at each stage, the number of terms in a given approximation depends only on the number of positive-valued maxima and negative-valued minima of a signed amplitude function characterizing part of the signal. Like the algorithms used in \cite{gre2} and unlike previous methods, our chirplet approximations require neither a complete dictionary of chirps nor complicated multi-dimensional searches to obtain suitable choices of chirp parameters.

Numerical aspects of nonlinear Schrodinger equations in the presence of caustics

The aim of this text is to develop on the asymptotics of some 1-D nonlinear Schrodinger equations from both the theoretical and the numerical perspectives, when a caustic is formed. We review rigorous results in the field and give some heuristics in cases where justification is still needed. The scattering operator theory is recalled. Numerical experiments are carried out on the focus point singularity for which several results have been proven rigorously. Furthermore, the scattering operator is numerically studied. Finally, experiments on the cusp caustic are displayed, and similarities with the focus point are discussed.
