A numerical perspective on Hartree−Fock−Bogoliubov theory

Mathieu Lewin, Séverine Paul (2014)

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

The method of choice for describing attractive quantum systems is Hartree−Fock−Bogoliubov (HFB) theory. This is a nonlinear model which allows for the description of pairing effects, the main explanation for the superconductivity of certain materials at very low temperature. This paper is the first study of Hartree−Fock−Bogoliubov theory from the point of view of numerical analysis. We start by discussing its proper discretization and then analyze the convergence of the simple fixed point (Roothaan)...

A numerical scheme for the quantum Boltzmann equation with stiff collision terms

Francis Filbet, Jingwei Hu, Shi Jin (2012)

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

Numerically solving the Boltzmann kinetic equations with the small Knudsen number is challenging due to the stiff nonlinear collision terms. A class of asymptotic-preserving schemes was introduced in [F. Filbet and S. Jin,J. Comput. Phys. 229 (2010) 7625–7648] to handle this kind of problems. The idea is to penalize the stiff collision term by a BGK type operator. This method, however, encounters its own difficulty when applied to the quantum Boltzmann equation. To define the quantum Maxwellian...

A numerical study on Neumann-Neumann methods for hp approximations on geometrically refined boundary layer meshes II. Three-dimensional problems

Andrea Toselli, Xavier Vasseur (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, we present extensive numerical tests showing the performance and robustness of a Balancing Neumann-Neumann method for the solution of algebraic linear systems arising from hp finite element approximations of scalar elliptic problems on geometrically refined boundary layer meshes in three dimensions. The numerical results are in good agreement with the theoretical bound for the condition number of the preconditioned operator derived in [Toselli and Vasseur, IMA J. Numer. Anal.24 (2004)...

A Paley-Wiener type theorem for generalized non-quasianalytic classes

Jordi Juan-Huguet (2012)

Studia Mathematica

Let P be a hypoelliptic polynomial. We consider classes of ultradifferentiable functions with respect to the iterates of the partial differential operator P(D) and prove that such classes satisfy a Paley-Wiener type theorem. These classes and the corresponding test spaces are nuclear.
