Using a high degree of parallelism is essential to perform data assimilation efficiently. The state formulation of the incremental weak constraint four-dimensional variational data assimilation method allows parallel calculations in the time dimension. In this approach, the solution is approximated by minimising a series of quadratic cost functions using the conjugate gradient method. To use this method in practice, effective preconditioning strategies that maintain the potential for parallel calculations are needed. We examine approximations to the control variable transform (CVT) technique when the latter is beneficial. The new strategy employs a randomised singular value decomposition and retains the potential for parallelism in the time domain. Numerical results for the Lorenz 96 model show that this approach accelerates the minimisation in the first few iterations, with better results when CVT performs well.

There is growing awareness that errors in the model equations cannot be ignored in data assimilation methods such as four-dimensional variational assimilation (4D-Var). If allowed for, more information can be extracted from observations, longer time windows are possible, and the minimisation process is easier, at least in principle. Weak constraint 4D-Var estimates the model error and minimises a series of linear least-squares cost functionsfunctions, which can be achieved using the conjugate gradient (CG) method; minimising each cost function is called an inner loop. CG needs preconditioning to improve its performance. In previous work, limited memory preconditioners (LMPs) have been constructed using approximations of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Hessian in the previous inner loop. If the Hessian changes significantly in consecutive inner loops, the LMP may be of limited usefulness. To circumvent this, we propose using randomised methods for low rank eigenvalue decomposition and use these approximations to cheaply construct LMPs using information from the current inner loop. Three randomised methods are compared. Numerical experiments in idealized systems show that the resulting LMPs perform better than the existing LMPs. Using these methods may allow more efficient and robust implementations of incremental weak constraint 4D-Var.
In [2019, Space-time least-squares finite elements for parabolic equations, arXiv:1911.01942] by Fuhrer& Karkulik, well-posedness of a space-time First-Order System Least-Squares formulation of the heat equation was proven. In the present work, this result is generalized to general second order parabolic PDEs with possibly inhomogenoeus boundary conditions, and plain convergence of a standard adaptive finite element method driven by the least-squares estimator is demonstrated. The proof of the latter easily extends to a large class of least-squares formulations.
In this paper, we develop an iterative scheme to construct multiscale basis functions within the framework of the Constraint Energy Minimizing Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Method (CEM-GMsFEM) for the mixed formulation. The iterative procedur e starts with the construction of an energy minimizing snapshot space that can be used for approximating the solution of the model problem. A spectral decomposition is then performed on the snapshot space to form global multiscale space. Under this setting, each global multiscale basis function can be split into a non-decaying and a decaying parts. The non-decaying part of a global basis is localized and it is fixed during the iteration. Then, one can approximate the decaying part via a modified Richardson scheme with an appropriately defined preconditioner. Using this set of iterative-based multiscale basis functions, first-order convergence with respect to the coarse mesh size can be shown if sufficiently many times of iterations with regularization parameter being in an appropriate range are performed. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed computational multiscale method.
Time-space fractional Bloch-Torrey equations are developed by some researchers to investigate the relationship between diffusion and fractional-order dynamics. In this paper, we first propose a second-order scheme for this equation by employing the r ecently proposed L2-type formula [A.~A.~Alikhanov, C.~Huang, Appl.~Math.~Comput.~(2021) 126545]. Then, we prove the stability and the convergence of this scheme. Based on such the numerical scheme, a L2-type all-at-once system is derived. In order to solve this system in a parallel-in-time pattern, a bilateral preconditioning technique is designed according to the special structure of the system. We theoretically show that the condition number of the preconditioned matrix is uniformly bounded by a constant for the time fractional order $alpha in (0,0.3624)$. Numerical results are reported to show the efficiency of our method.
Using the framework of operator or Calderon preconditioning, uniform preconditioners are constructed for elliptic operators discretized with continuous finite (or boundary) elements. The preconditioners are constructed as the composition of an opposi te order operator, discretized on the same ansatz space, and two diagonal scaling operators.
