摘要: Particle systems exhibit various dynamics such as collision, interaction, and collective motions that can lead to lots of applications in biology, physics, and engineering. One major modeling strategy is to start with individual-based models that consist of ordinary differential equations describing the dynamics of each particle due to physical laws, and then derive the mean-field and fluid models in the mesoscopic and macroscopic levels. The models in different scales are suitable for certain applications of great interest. We will present the classic theory on the connection between particle models and McKean-Vlasov equations, and discuss the open questions.

题目 Title: A mixed precision Jacobi SVD algorithm

摘要 Abstract: We propose a mixed precision Jacobi algorithm for computing the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a dense matrix. After appropriate preconditioning,the proposed algorithm computes the SVD in a lower precision as an initial guess, and then performs one-sided Jacobi rotations in the working precision as iterative refinement.By carefully transforming a lower precision solution to a higher precision one, our algorithm achieves about 2x speedup on the x86 architecture compared to the usual one-sided Jacobi SVD algorithm in LAPACK, without sacrificing the accuracy.

Title: Strong convergence rate of a full discretization for nonlinear SPDE driven by multiplicative noise
Speaker: 黄灿
Time: Friday (Dec. 24th) 13:30—15:00
Tencent Meeting: 372-957-007
Abstract:
We consider a fully discrete scheme for nonlinear SPDE with non-globally Lipschitz coefficients driven by multiplicative noise in a multi-dimensional setting. Our method uses a polynomial based spectral method in space, so it does not require the elliptic operator and the covariance operator of noise in the equation commute, and thus successfully alleviates a restriction of Fourier spectral method for SPDEs pointed out by Jentzen, Kloeden and Winkel in their Annals of Applied Probability paper.
The discretization in time is a tamed semi-implicit scheme which treats the nonlinear term explicitly while being unconditionally stable. Under regular assumptions which are usually made for SPDEs with additive noise, we establish optimal strong convergence rates in both space and time for our fully discrete scheme.

Title: A spectrally accurate numerical method for computing the Bogoliubov-De Gennes excitations of dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates
Speaker:Yong Zhang, Tianjin University
Time:Friday 10:00-11:00AM, December 10th.
Tencent Meeting: 879-873-442
Abstract:
In this talk, we propose an efficient and robust numerical method to study the elementary excitation of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), which is governed by the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations (BdGEs) with nonlocal dipole-dipole interaction, around the mean field ground state. Analytical properties of the BdGEs are investigated, which could serve as benchmarks for the numerical methods. To evaluate the nonlocal interactions accurately and efficiently, we propose a new Simple Fourier Spectral Convolution method (SFSC). Then, integrating SFSC with the standard Fourier spectral method for spatial discretization and Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi Methods (IRAM) for the eigenvalue problem, we derive an efficient and spectrally accurate method, named as SFSC-IRAM method, for the BdGEs. Ample numerical tests are provided to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency. Finally, we apply the new method to study systematically the excitation spectrum and Bogoliubov amplitudes around the ground state with different parameters in different spatial dimensions.

题目:Effects of Air Quality on Housing Location: A Predictive Dynamic Continuum User-Optimal Approach

摘要:Recent decades have seen increasing concerns regarding air quality in housing locations. This study proposes a predictive continuum dynamic user-optimal model with combined choice of housing location, destination, route, and departure time. A traveler’s choice of housing location is modeled by a logit-type demand distribution function based on air quality, housing rent, and perceived travel costs. Air quality, or air pollutants, within the modeling region are governed by the vehicle-emission model and the advection-diffusion equation for dispersion. In this study, the housing-location problem is formulated as a fixed-point problem, and the predictive continuum dynamic user-optimal model with departure-time consideration is formulated as a variational inequality problem. The Lax-Friedrichs scheme, the fast-sweeping method, the Goldstein-Levitin-Polyak projection algorithm, and self-adaptive successive averages are adopted to discretize and solve these problems. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the characteristics of the proposed housing-location choice problem with consideration of air quality and to demonstrate the effectiveness of the solution algorithms.
题目:相对论磁流体力学方程组的高精度保界数值方法

摘要:本报告将介绍近年来相对论磁流体力学方程组的高精度保界（保持密度和压力为正、速度小于光速）数值方法的研究进展。由于相对论效应，流体的压力和速度等原始变量无法由方程组的守恒变量显式地表示，因而上述有关界的约束是强非线性的。我们提出了一种将非线性约束等价转化为线性约束（“用额外辅助变量换取线性性”）的几何拟线性化(GQL)方法。基于该方法的理论分析首次揭示了保界性与磁场无散度条件之间的内在联系。利用磁流体力学方程组的可对称化形式，建立了一种设计高精度保界数值方法的一般框架，给出了保界性的严格数学证明。在不加任何人工处理的情况下，所发展的高精度保界方法成功模拟了强磁场中的相对论磁流体爆炸问题（等离子体beta达到10的负10次方量级）和高马赫数的射流等极具挑战性问题。

Title:An essentially oscillation-free discontinuous Galerkin method for hyperbolic systems
Time：10:00-11:00AM, Friday, November 19, 2021.
Tencent meeting：829 760 836
Speaker:刘勇（中国科学院数学与系统科学研究院）
Abstract:In this talk, we introduce an essentially oscillation-free discontinuous Galerkin (OFDG) method for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. Based on the standard discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method, the numerical damping terms are introduced so as to control the spurious oscillations. We use both the classical Runge-Kutta method and the modified exponential Runge-Kutta method in time discretization. Particularly,the latter one could avoid additional restrictions of time step size due to the numerical damping. Extensive numerical experiments are shown to demonstrate our algorithm is robust and effective.
