We present a new numerical method for solving time dependent Maxwell equations, which is also suitable for general linear hyperbolic equations. It is based on an unstructured partitioning of the spacetime domain into tent-shaped regions that respect causality. Provided that an approximate solution is available at the tent bottom, the equation can be locally evolved up to the top of the tent. By mapping tents to a domain which is a tensor product of a spatial domain with a time interval, it is possible to construct a fully explicit scheme that advances the solution through unstructured meshes. This work highlights a difficulty that arises when standard explicit Runge Kutta schemes are used in this context and proposes an alternative structure-aware Taylor time-stepping technique. Thus explicit methods are constructed that allow variable time steps and local refinements without compromising high order accuracy in space and time. These Mapped Tent Pitching (MTP) schemes lead to highly parallel algorithms, which utilize modern computer architectures extremely well.

A spacetime domain can be progressively meshed by tent shaped objects. Numerical methods for solving hyperbolic systems using such tent meshes to advance in time have been proposed previously. Such schemes have the ability to advance in time by different amounts at different spatial locations. This paper explores a technique by which standard discretizations, including explicit time stepping, can be used within tent-shaped spacetime domains. The technique transforms the equations within a spacetime tent to a domain where space and time are separable. After detailing techniques based on this mapping, several examples including the acoustic wave equation and the Euler system are considered.
For time-dependent problems with high-contrast multiscale coefficients, the time step size for explicit methods is affected by the magnitude of the coefficient parameter. With a suitable construction of multiscale space, one can achieve a stable temporal splitting scheme where the time step size is independent of the contrast. Consider the parabolic equation with heterogeneous diffusion parameter, the flow rates vary significantly in different regions due to the high-contrast features of the diffusivity. In this work, we aim to introduce a multirate partially explicit splitting scheme to achieve efficient simulation with the desired accuracy. We first design multiscale subspaces to handle flow with different speed. For the fast flow, we obtain a low-dimensional subspace with respect to the high-diffusive component and adopt an implicit time discretization scheme. The other multiscale subspace will take care of the slow flow, and the corresponding degrees of freedom are treated explicitly. Then a multirate time stepping is introduced for the two parts. The stability of the multirate methods is analyzed for the partially explicit scheme. Moreover, we derive local error estimators corresponding to the two components of the solutions and provide an upper bound of the errors. An adaptive local temporal refinement framework is then proposed to achieve higher computational efficiency. Several numerical tests are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.
We provide a preliminary comparison of the dispersion properties, specifically the time-amplification factor, the scaled group velocity and the error in the phase speed of four spatiotemporal discretization schemes utilized for solving the one-dimensional (1D) linear advection diffusion reaction (ADR) equation: (a) An explicit (RK2) temporal integration combined with the Optimal Upwind Compact Scheme (or OUCS3) and the central difference scheme (CD2) for second order spatial discretization, (b) a fully implicit mid-point rule for time integration coupled with the OUCS3 and the Leles compact scheme for first and second order spatial discretization, respectively, (c) An implicit (mid-point rule)-explicit (RK2) or IMEX time integration blended with OUCS3 and Leles compact scheme (where the IMEX time integration follows the same ideology as introduced by Ascher et al.), and (d) the IMEX (mid-point/RK2) time integration melded with the New Combined Compact Difference scheme (or NCCD scheme). Analysis reveal the superior resolution features of the IMEX-NCCD scheme including an enhanced region of neutral stability (a region where the amplification factor is close to one), a diminished region of spurious propagation characteristics (or a region of negative group velocity) and a smaller region of nonzero phase speed error. The dispersion error of these numerical schemes through the role of q-waves is further investigated using the novel error propagation equation for the 1D linear ADR equation. Again, the in silico experiments divulge excellent Dispersion Relation Preservation (DRP) properties of the IMEX-NCCD scheme including minimal dissipation via implicit filtering and negligible unphysical oscillations (or Gibbs phenomena) on coarser grids.
In this paper, one-stage explicit trigonometric integrators for solving quasilinear wave equations are formulated and studied. For solving wave equations, we first introduce trigonometric integrators as the semidiscretization in time and then consider a spectral Galerkin method for the discretization in space. We show that one-stage explicit trigonometric integrators in time have second-order convergence and the result is also true for the fullydiscrete scheme without requiring any CFL-type coupling of the discretization parameters. The results are proved by using energy techniques, which are widely applied in the numerical analysis of methods for partial differential equations.
We present a discontinuous Galerkin internal-penalty scheme that is applicable to a large class of linear and non-linear elliptic partial differential equations. The scheme constitutes the foundation of the elliptic solver for the SpECTRE numerical relativity code. As such it can accommodate (but is not limited to) elliptic problems in linear elasticity, general relativity and hydrodynamics, including problems formulated on a curved manifold. We provide practical instructions that make the scheme functional in a production code, such as instructions for imposing a range of boundary conditions, for implementing the scheme on curved and non-conforming meshes and for ensuring the scheme is compact and symmetric so it may be solved more efficiently. We report on the accuracy of the scheme for a suite of numerical test problems.
