Runge--Kutta convolution coercivity and its use for time-dependent boundary integral equations

A coercivity property of temporal convolution operators is an essential tool in the analysis of time-dependent boundary integral equations and their space and time discretisations. It is known that this coercivity property is inherited by convolution quadrature time discretisation based on A-stable multistep methods, which are of order at most two. Here we study the question as to which Runge--Kutta-based convolution quadrature methods inherit the convolution coercivity property. It is shown that this holds without any restriction for the third-order Radau IIA method, and on permitting a shift in the Laplace domain variable, this holds for all algebraically stable Runge--Kutta methods and hence for methods of arbitrary order. As an illustration, the discrete convolution coercivity is used to analyse the stability and convergence properties of the time discretisation of a non-linear boundary integral equation that originates from a non-linear scattering problem for the linear wave equation. Numerical experiments illustrate the error behaviour of the Runge--Kutta convolution quadrature time discretisation.

A Trefftz polynomial space-time discontinuous Galerkin method for the second order wave equation

A new space-time discontinuous Galerkin (dG) method utilising special Trefftz polynomial basis functions is proposed and fully analysed for the scalar wave equation in a second order formulation. The dG method considered is motivated by the class of interior penalty dG methods, as well as by the classical work of Hughes and Hulbert. The choice of the penalty terms included in the bilinear form is essential for both the theoretical analysis and for the practical behaviour of the method for the case of lowest order basis functions. A best approximation result is proven for this new space-time dG method with Trefftz-type basis functions. Rates of convergence are proved in any dimension and verified numerically in spatial dimensions $d = 1$ and $d = 2$. Numerical experiments highlight the effectiveness of the Trefftz method in problems with energy at high frequencies.

Fast and oblivious algorithms for dissipative and 2D wave equations

The use of time-domain boundary integral equations has proved very effective and efficient for three dimensional acoustic and electromagnetic wave equations. In even dimensions and when some dissipation is present, time-domain boundary equations contain an infinite memory tail. Due to this, computation for longer times becomes exceedingly expensive. In this paper we show how oblivious quadrature, initially designed for parabolic problems, can be used to significantly reduce both the cost and the memory requirements of computing this tail. We analyse Runge-Kutta based quadrature and conclude the paper with numerical experiments.

Fully discrete Kirchhoff formulas with CQ-BEM

In this paper we propose and analyze a fully discrete method for a direct boundary integral formulation of the scattering of a transient acoustic wave by a sound-soft obstacle. The method uses Galerkin-BEM in the space variables and three different choices of time-stepping strategies based on Convolution Quadrature. The numerical analysis of the method is carried out directly in the time domain, not reverting to Laplace transform techniques.
