We develop an energy-based finite difference method for the wave equation in second order form. The spatial discretization satisfies a summation-by-parts (SBP) property. With boundary conditions and material interface conditions imposed weakly by the simultaneous-approximation-term (SAT) method, we derive energy estimates for the semi-discretization. In addition, error estimates are derived by the normal mode analysis. The energy-based discretization does not use any mesh-dependent parameter, even in the presence of Dirichlet boundary conditions and material interfaces. Furthermore, similar to upwind discontinuous Galerkin methods, numerical dissipation can be added to the discretization through the boundary conditions. We present numerical experiments that verify convergence and robustness of the proposed method.

We present a hybridization technique for summation-by-parts finite difference methods with weak enforcement of interface and boundary conditions for second order, linear elliptic partial differential equations. The method is based on techniques from the hybridized discontinuous Galerkin literature where local and global problems are defined for the volume and trace grid points, respectively. By using a Schur complement technique the volume points can be eliminated, which drastically reduces the system size. We derive both the local and global problems, and show that the linear systems that must be solved are symmetric positive definite. The theoretical stability results are confirmed with numerical experiments as is the accuracy of the method.
In this paper, we develop a provably energy stable and conservative discontinuous spectral element method for the shifted wave equation in second order form. The proposed method combines the advantages and central ideas of very successful numerical techniques, the summation-by-parts finite difference method, the spectral method and the discontinuous Galerkin method. We prove energy-stability, discrete conservation principle, and derive error estimates in the energy norm for the (1+1)-dimensions shifted wave equation in second order form. The energy-stability results, discrete conservation principle, and the error estimates generalise to multiple dimensions using tensor products of quadrilateral and hexahedral elements. Numerical experiments, in (1+1)-dimensions and (2+1)-dimensions, verify the theoretical results and demonstrate optimal convergence of $L^2$ numerical errors at subsonic, sonic and supersonic regimes.
We develop a fourth order accurate finite difference method for the three dimensional elastic wave equation in isotropic media with the piecewise smooth material property. In our model, the material property can be discontinuous at curved interfaces. The governing equations are discretized in second order form on curvilinear meshes by using a fourth order finite difference operator satisfying a summation-by-parts property. The method is energy stable and high order accurate. The highlight is that mesh sizes can be chosen according to the velocity structure of the material so that computational efficiency is improved. At the mesh refinement interfaces with hanging nodes, physical interface conditions are imposed by using ghost points and interpolation. With a fourth order predictor-corrector time integrator, the fully discrete scheme is energy conserving. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the fourth order convergence rate and the energy conserving property.
We consider finite difference approximations of the second derivative, exemplified in Poissons equation, the heat equation and the wave equation. The finite difference operators satisfy a summation-by-parts property, which mimics the integration-by-parts. Since the operators approximate the second derivative, they are singular by construction. To impose boundary conditions, these operators are modified using Simultaneous Approximation Terms. This makes the modified matrices non-singular, for most choices of boundary conditions. Recently, inverses of such matrices were derived. However, when considering Neumann boundary conditions on both boundaries, the modified matrix is still singular. For such matrices, we have derived an explicit expression for the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse, which can be used for solving elliptic problems and some time-dependent problems. The condition for this new pseudoinverse to be valid, is that the modified matrix does not have more than one zero eigenvalue. We have reconstructed the sixth order accurate narrow-stencil operator with a free parameter and show that more than one zero eigenvalue can occur. We have performed a detailed analysis on the free parameter to improve the properties of the second derivative operator. We complement the derivations by numerical experiments to demonstrate the improvements of the new second derivative operator.
We develop a stable finite difference method for the elastic wave equations in bounded media, where the material properties can be discontinuous at curved interfaces. The governing equations are discretized in second order form by a fourth or sixth order accurate summation-by-parts operator. The mesh size is determined by the velocity structure of the material, resulting in nonconforming grid interfaces with hanging nodes. We use order-preserving interpolation and the ghost point technique to couple adjacent mesh blocks in an energy-conserving manner, which is supported by a fully discrete stability analysis. In numerical experiments, we demonstrate that the convergence rate is optimal, and is the same as when a globally uniform mesh is used in a single domain. In addition, with a predictor-corrector time integration method, we obtain time stepping stability with stepsize almost the same as given by the usual Courant Friedrichs Lewy condition.
