In this paper, two finite difference numerical schemes are proposed and analyzed for the droplet liquid film model, with a singular Leonard-Jones energy potential involved. Both first and second order accurate temporal algorithms are considered. In the first order scheme, the convex potential and the surface diffusion terms are implicitly, while the concave potential term is updated explicitly. Furthermore, we provide a theoretical justification that this numerical algorithm has a unique solution, such that the positivity is always preserved for the phase variable at a point-wise level, so that a singularity is avoided in the scheme. In fact, the singular nature of the Leonard-Jones potential term around the value of 0 prevents the numerical solution reaching such singular value, so that the positivity structure is always preserved. Moreover, an unconditional energy stability of the numerical scheme is derived, without any restriction for the time step size. In the second order numerical scheme, the BDF temporal stencil is applied, and an alternate convex-concave decomposition is derived, so that the concave part corresponds to a quadratic energy. In turn, the combined Leonard-Jones potential term is treated implicitly, and the concave part the is approximated by a second order Adams-Bashforth explicit extrapolation, and an artificial Douglas-Dupont regularization term is added to ensure the energy stability. The unique solvability and the positivity-preserving property for the second order scheme could be similarly established. In addition, optimal rate convergence analysis is provided for both the first and second order accurate schemes. A few numerical simulation results are also presented, which demonstrate the robustness of the numerical schemes.

We study a family of structure-preserving deterministic numerical schemes for Lindblad equations, and carry out detailed error analysis and absolute stability analysis. Both error and absolute stability analysis are validated by numerical examples.

We propose a new Lagrange multiplier approach to construct positivity preserving schemes for parabolic type equations. The new approach introduces a space-time Lagrange multiplier to enforce the positivity with the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions . We then use a predictor-corrector approach to construct a class of positivity schemes: with a generic semi-implicit or implicit scheme as the prediction step, and the correction step, which enforces the positivity, can be implemented with negligible cost. We also present a modification which allows us to construct schemes which, in addition to positivity preserving, is also mass conserving. This new approach is not restricted to any particular spatial discretization and can be combined with various time discretization schemes. We establish stability results for our first- and second-order schemes under a general setting, and present ample numerical results to validate the new approach.

In this work, we propose and develop efficient and accurate numerical methods for solving the Kirchhoff-Love plate model in domains with complex geometries. The algorithms proposed here employ curvilinear finite-difference methods for spatial discret ization of the governing PDEs on general composite overlapping grids. The coupling of different components of the composite overlapping grid is through numerical interpolations. However, interpolations introduce perturbation to the finite-difference discretization, which causes numerical instability for time-stepping schemes used to advance the resulted semi-discrete system. To address the instability, we propose to add a fourth-order hyper-dissipation to the spatially discretized system to stabilize its time integration; this additional dissipation term captures the essential upwinding effect of the original upwind scheme. The investigation of strategies for incorporating the upwind dissipation term into several time-stepping schemes (both explicit and implicit) leads to the development of four novel algorithms. For each algorithm, formulas for determining a stable time step and a sufficient dissipation coefficient on curvilinear grids are derived by performing a local Fourier analysis. Quadratic eigenvalue problems for a simplified model plate in 1D domain are considered to reveal the weak instability due to the presence of interpolating equations in the spatial discretization. This model problem is further investigated for the stabilization effects of the proposed algorithms. Carefully designed numerical experiments are carried out to validate the accuracy and stability of the proposed algorithms, followed by two benchmark problems to demonstrate the capability and efficiency of our approach for solving realistic applications. Results that concern the performance of the proposed algorithms are also presented.
This work develops entropy-stable positivity-preserving DG methods as a computational scheme for Boltzmann-Poisson systems modeling the pdf of electronic transport along energy bands in semiconductor crystal lattices. We pose, using spherical or ener gy-angular variables as momentum coordinates, the corresponding Vlasov Boltzmann eq. with a linear collision operator with a singular measure modeling the scattering as functions of the energy band. We show stability results of semi-discrete DG schemes under an entropy norm for 1D-position 2D-momentum, and 2D-position 3D-momentum, using the dissipative properties of the collisional operator given its entropy inequality, which depends on the whole Hamiltonian rather than only the kinetic energy. For the 1D problem, knowledge of the analytic solution to Poisson and of the convergence to a constant current is crucial to obtain full stability. For the 2D problem, specular reflection BC are considered in addition to periodicity in the estimate for stability under an entropy norm. Regarding positivity preservation (1D position), we treat the collision operator as a source term and find convex combinations of the transport and collision terms which guarantee the positivity of the cell average of our numerical pdf at the next time step. The positivity of the numerical pdf in the whole domain is guaranteed by applying the natural limiters that preserve the cell average but modify the slope of the piecewise linear solutions in order to make the function non-negative. The use of a spherical coordinate system $vec{p}(|vec{p}|,mu=costheta,varphi)$ is slightly different to the choice in previous DG solvers for BP, since the proposed DG formulation gives simpler integrals involving just piecewise polynomial functions for both transport and collision terms, which is more adequate for Gaussian quadrature than previous approaches.
In this paper, we study a novel second-order energy stable Backward Differentiation Formula (BDF) finite difference scheme for the epitaxial thin film equation with slope selection (SS). One major challenge for the higher oder in time temporal discre tization is how to ensure an unconditional energy stability and an efficient numerical implementation. We propose a general framework for designing the higher order in time numerical scheme with unconditional energy stability by using the BDF method with constant coefficient stabilized terms. Based on the unconditional energy stability property, we derive an $L^infty_h (0,T; H_{h}^2)$ stability for the numerical solution and provide an optimal the convergence analysis. To deal with the 4-Laplacian solver in an $L^{2}$ gradient flow at each time step, we apply an efficient preconditioned steepest descent algorithm and preconditioned nonlinear conjugate gradient algorithm to solve the corresponding nonlinear system. Various numerical simulations are present to demonstrate the stability and efficiency of the proposed schemes and slovers.
