A Globally Conservative Compact Framework for Conservation Laws: Fourth-Order Schemes with Enhanced Resolution and Stability

The compact finite difference method is a powerful tool for discretizing conservation laws, owing to its inherent flexibility in developing high-resolution and highly stable schemes. In this paper, we propose a framework for the design of genuine globally conservative compact finite difference schemes, which addresses a critical requirement in conservation laws. Within our framework, we rigorously establish that the discrete conservation law maintains strict conservation for flux functions in polynomial spaces with optimal algebraic order, i.e., the discrete scheme achieves an optimal algebraic precision.Our work advances the existing conservative compact finite difference schemes, which rely on approaches to maintaining global conservation that are fundamentally consistent with the method proposed by Lele [Lele, J. Comput. Phys., 1992]. As an application, we propose an algorithm for designing globally conservative fourth-order schemes, aimed at optimizing resolution and asymptotic stability. Three schemes are generated using the algorithm, with their excellent performance across multiple aspects validated through numerical experiments.

Investigation of double-gyroid grain boundaries beyond twinning

We study four double-gyroid (DG) grain boundaries (GBs) with different orientations numerically using the Landau--Brazovskii free energy, including the (422) twin boundary studied recently, a network switching GB, and two tilt GBs. Topological variations and geometric deformations are investigated. It is found that deviations in strut lengths and dihedral angles from the bulk DG substantially exceed changes in strut angles and nodal coplanarity. We also examine the spectra along the contact plane of two grains and utilize them to evaluate the GB widths. Of the four GBs we study, the network switching GB changes to the least extent topologically and geometrically, meanwhile has the lowest energy and the smallest GB width.

Singularity-free Numerical Scheme for the Stationary Wigner Equation

For the stationary Wigner equation with inflow boundary conditions, its numerical convergence with respect to the velocity mesh size are deteriorated due to the singularity at velocity zero. In this paper, using the fact that the solution of the stationary Wigner equation is subject to an algebraic constraint, we prove that the Wigner equation can be written into a form with a bounded operator $\mathcal{B}[V]$, which is equivalent to the operator $\mathcal{A}[V]=\Theta[V]/v$ in the original Wigner equation under some conditions. Then the discrete operators discretizing $\mathcal{B}[V]$ are proved to be uniformly bounded with respect to the mesh size. Based on the therectical findings, a signularity-free numerical method is proposed. Numerical reuslts are proivded to show our improved numerical scheme performs much better in numerical convergence than the original scheme based on discretizing $\mathcal{A}[V]$.

Parity-decomposition and Moment Analysis for Stationary Wigner Equation with Inflow Boundary Conditions

We study the stationary Wigner equation on a bounded, one-dimensional spatial domain with inflow boundary conditions by using the parity decomposition in (Barletti and weifel, Trans. Theory Stat. Phys., 507--520, 2001). The decomposition reduces the half-range, two-point boundary value problem into two decoupled initial value problems of the even part and the odd part. Without using a cutoff approximation around zero velocity, we prove that the initial value problem for the even part is well-posed. For the odd part, we prove the uniqueness of the solution in the odd $L^2$-space by analyzing the moment system. An example is provided to show that how to use the analysis to obtain the solution of the stationary Wigner equation with inflow boundary conditions.

Convergence of Semi-discrete Stationary Wigner Equation with Inflow Boundary Conditions

Making use of the Whittaker-Shannon interpolation formula with shifted sampling points, we propose in this paper a well-posed semi-discretization of the stationary Wigner equation with inflow BCs. The convergence of the solutions of the discrete problem to the continuous problem is then analysed, providing certain regularity of the solution of the continuous problem.

Stationary Wigner Equation with Inflow Boundary Conditions: Will a Symmetric Potential Yield a Symmetric Solution?

Based on the well-posedness of the stationary Wigner equation with inflow boundary conditions given in (A. Arnold, H et al. J. Math. Phys., 41, 2000), we prove without any additional prerequisite conditions that the solution of the Wigner equation with symmetric potential and inflow boundary conditions will be symmetric. This improve the result in (D. Taj et al. Europhys. Lett., 74, 2006) which depends on the convergence of solution formulated in the Neumann series. By numerical studies, we present the convergence of the numerical solution to the symmetric profile for three different numerical schemes. This implies that the upwind schemes can also yield a symmetric numerical solution, on the contrary to the argument given in (D. Taj et al. Europhys. Lett., 74, 2006).
