Spectral Galerkin approximation of Fokker-Planck equations with unbounded drift

David J. Knezevic, Endre Süli (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

This paper is concerned with the analysis and implementation of spectral Galerkin methods for a class of Fokker-Planck equations that arises from the kinetic theory of dilute polymers. A relevant feature of the class of equations under consideration from the viewpoint of mathematical analysis and numerical approximation is the presence of an unbounded drift coefficient, involving a smooth convex potential U that is equal to + along the boundary D of the computational domain D . Using a symmetrization...

Spectral invariants for coupled spin-oscillators

San Vũ Ngọc (2011/2012)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

This text deals with inverse spectral theory in a semiclassical setting. Given a quantum system, the haunting question is “What interesting quantities can be discovered on the spectrum that can help to characterize the system ?” The general framework will be semiclassical analysis, and the issue is to recover the classical dynamics from the quantum spectrum. The coupling of a spin and an oscillator is a fundamental example in physics where some nontrivial explicit calculations can be done.

Spectral methods for singular perturbation problems

Wilhelm Heinrichs (1994)

Applications of Mathematics

We study spectral discretizations for singular perturbation problems. A special technique of stabilization for the spectral method is proposed. Boundary layer problems are accurately solved by a domain decomposition method. An effective iterative method for the solution of spectral systems is proposed. Suitable components for a multigrid method are presented.

Spectral projection, residue of the scattering amplitude and Schrödinger group expansion for barrier-top resonances

Jean-François Bony, Setsuro Fujiié, Thierry Ramond, Maher Zerzeri (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the spectral projection associated to a barrier-top resonance for the semiclassical Schrödinger operator. First, we prove a resolvent estimate for complex energies close to such a resonance. Using that estimate and an explicit representation of the resonant states, we show that the spectral projection has a semiclassical expansion in integer powers of h , and compute its leading term. We use this result to compute the residue of the scattering amplitude at such a resonance. Eventually, we...

Spectral projections for the twisted Laplacian

Herbert Koch, Fulvio Ricci (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Let n ≥ 1, d = 2n, and let (x,y) ∈ ℝⁿ × ℝⁿ be a generic point in ℝ²ⁿ. The twisted Laplacian L = - 1 / 2 j = 1 n [ ( x j + i y j ) ² + ( y j - i x j ) ² ] has the spectrum n + 2k = λ²: k a nonnegative integer. Let P λ be the spectral projection onto the (infinite-dimensional) eigenspace. We find the optimal exponent ϱ(p) in the estimate | | P λ u | | L p ( d ) λ ϱ ( p ) | | u | | L ² ( d ) for all p ∈ [2,∞], improving previous partial results by Ratnakumar, Rawat and Thangavelu, and by Stempak and Zienkiewicz. The expression for ϱ(p) is ϱ(p) = 1/p -1/2 if 2 ≤ p ≤ 2(d+1)/(d-1), ϱ(p) = (d-2)/2 - d/p if 2(d+1)/(d-1)...
