We propose an accurate algorithm for a novel sum-of-exponentials (SOE) approximation of kernel functions, and develop a fast algorithm for convolution quadrature based on the SOE, which allows an order $N$ calculation for $N$ time steps of approximating a continuous temporal convolution integral. The SOE method is constructed by a combination of the de la Vallee-Poussin sums for a semi-analytical exponential expansion of a general kernel, and a model reduction technique for the minimization of the number of exponentials under given error tolerance. We employ the SOE expansion for the finite part of the splitting convolution kernel such that the convolution integral can be solved as a system of ordinary differential equations due to the exponential kernels. The remaining part is explicitly approximated by employing the generalized Taylor expansion. The significant features of our algorithm are that the SOE method is efficient and accurate, and works for general kernels with controllable upperbound of positive exponents. We provide numerical analysis for the SOE-based convolution quadrature. Numerical results on different kernels, the convolution integral and integral equations demonstrate attractive performance of both accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.
Approximation of interacting kernels by sum of Gaussians (SOG) is frequently required in many applications of scientific and engineering computing in order to construct efficient algorithms for kernel summation or convolution problems. In this paper, we propose a kernel-independent SOG method by introducing the de la Vallee-Poussin sum and Chebyshev polynomials. The SOG works for general interacting kernels and the lower bound of Gaussian bandwidths is tunable and thus the Gaussians can be easily summed by fast Gaussian algorithms. The number of Gaussians can be further reduced via the model reduction based on the balanced truncation based on the square root method. Numerical results on the accuracy and model reduction efficiency show attractive performance of the proposed method.
This paper presents a convergence analysis of kernel-based quadrature rules in misspecified settings, focusing on deterministic quadrature in Sobolev spaces. In particular, we deal with misspecified settings where a test integrand is less smooth than a Sobolev RKHS based on which a quadrature rule is constructed. We provide convergence guarantees based on two different assumptions on a quadrature rule: one on quadrature weights, and the other on design points. More precisely, we show that convergence rates can be derived (i) if the sum of absolute weights remains constant (or does not increase quickly), or (ii) if the minimum distance between design points does not decrease very quickly. As a consequence of the latter result, we derive a rate of convergence for Bayesian quadrature in misspecified settings. We reveal a condition on design points to make Bayesian quadrature robust to misspecification, and show that, under this condition, it may adaptively achieve the optimal rate of convergence in the Sobolev space of a lesser order (i.e., of the unknown smoothness of a test integrand), under a slightly stronger regularity condition on the integrand.
In this article, we aim to recover locally conservative and $H(div)$ conforming fluxes for the linear Cut Finite Element Solution with Nitsches method for Poisson problems with Dirichlet boundary condition. The computation of the conservative flux in the Raviart-Thomas space is completely local and does not require to solve any mixed problem. The $L^2$-norm of the difference between the numerical flux and the recovered flux can then be used as a posteriori error estimator in the adaptive mesh refinement procedure. Theoretically we are able to prove the global reliability and local efficiency. The theoretical results are verified in the numerical results. Moreover, in the numerical results we also observe optimal convergence rate for the flux error.
Numerical approximation of a general class of nonlinear unidirectional wave equations with a convolution-type nonlocality in space is considered. A semi-discrete numerical method based on both a uniform space discretization and the discrete convolution operator is introduced to solve the Cauchy problem. The method is proved to be uniformly convergent as the mesh size goes to zero. The order of convergence for the discretization error is linear or quadratic depending on the smoothness of the convolution kernel. The discrete problem defined on the whole spatial domain is then truncated to a finite domain. Restricting the problem to a finite domain introduces a localization error and it is proved that this localization error stays below a given threshold if the finite domain is large enough. For two particular kernel functions, the numerical examples concerning solitary wave solutions illustrate the expected accuracy of the method. Our class of nonlocal wave equations includes the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation as a special case and the present work is inspired by the previous work of Bona, Pritchard and Scott on numerical solution of the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation.
A randomised trapezoidal quadrature rule is proposed for continuous functions which enjoys less regularity than commonly required. Indeed, we consider functions in some fractional Sobolev space. Various error bounds for this randomised rule are established while an error bound for classical trapezoidal quadrature is obtained for comparison. The randomised trapezoidal quadrature rule is shown to improve the order of convergence by half.
