We consider a class of time dependent second order partial differential equations governed by a decaying entropy. The solution usually corresponds to a density distribution, hence positivity (non-negativity) is expected. This class of problems covers important cases such as Fokker-Planck type equations and aggregation models, which have been studied intensively in the past decades. In this paper, we design a high order discontinuous Galerkin method for such problems. If the interaction potential is not involved, or the interaction is defined by a smooth kernel, our semi-discrete scheme admits an entropy inequality on the discrete level. Furthermore, by applying the positivity-preserving limiter, our fully discretized scheme produces non-negative solutions for all cases under a time step constraint. Our method also applies to two dimensional problems on Cartesian meshes. Numerical examples are given to confirm the high order accuracy for smooth test cases and to demonstrate the effectiveness for preserving long time asymptotics.

In this paper, we develop an oscillation free local discontinuous Galerkin (OFLDG) method for solving nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations. Following the idea of our recent work [J. Lu, Y. Liu, and C.-W. Shu, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 59(2021), pp. 12 99-1324.], we add the damping terms to the LDG scheme to control the spurious oscillations when solutions have a large gradient. The $L^2$-stability and optimal priori error estimates for the semi-discrete scheme are established. The numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed method maintains the high-order accuracy and controls the spurious oscillations well.

This paper proposes and analyzes an ultra-weak local discontinuous Galerkin scheme for one-dimensional nonlinear biharmonic Schr{o}dinger equations. We develop the paradigm of the local discontinuous Galerkin method by introducing the second-order sp atial derivative as an auxiliary variable instead of the conventional first-order derivative. The proposed semi-discrete scheme preserves a few physically relevant properties such as the conservation of mass and the conservation of Hamiltonian accompanied by its stability for the targeted nonlinear biharmonic Schr{o}dinger equations. We also derive optimal $L^2$-error estimates of the scheme that measure both the solution and the auxiliary variable. Several numerical studies demonstrate and support our theoretical findings.
This paper develops three high-order accurate discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for the one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear Dirac (NLD) equations with a general scalar self-interaction. They are the Runge-Kutta DG (RKDG) method and the DG methods with the one-stage fourth-order Lax-Wendroff type time discretizaiton (LWDG) and the two-stage fourth-order accurate time discretization (TSDG). The RKDG method uses the spatial DG approximation to discretize the NLD equations and then utilize the explicit multistage high-order Runge-Kutta time discretization for the first-order time derivatives, while the LWDG and TSDG methods, on the contrary, first give the one-stage fourth-order Lax-Wendroff type and the two-stage fourth-order time discretizations of the NLD equations, respectively, and then discretize the first- and higher-order spatial derivatives by using the spatial DG approximation. The $L^{2}$ stability of the 2D semi-discrete DG approximation is proved in the RKDG methods for a general triangulation, and the computational complexities of three 1D DG methods are estimated. Numerical experiments are conducted to validate the accuracy and the conservative properties of the proposed methods. The interactions of the solitary waves, the standing and travelling waves are investigated numerically and the 2D breathing pattern is observed.
In this paper we propose and analyze a Discontinuous Galerkin method for a linear parabolic problem with dynamic boundary conditions. We present the formulation and prove stability and optimal a priori error estimates for the fully discrete scheme. M ore precisely, using polynomials of degree $pgeq 1$ on meshes with granularity $h$ along with a backward Euler time-stepping scheme with time-step $Delta t$, we prove that the fully-discrete solution is bounded by the data and it converges, in a suitable (mesh-dependent) energy norm, to the exact solution with optimal order $h^p + Delta t$. The sharpness of the theoretical estimates are verified through several numerical experiments.
In this paper, we develop a new mass conservative numerical scheme for the simulations of a class of fluid-structure interaction problems. We will use the immersed boundary method to model the fluid-structure interaction, while the fluid flow is gove rned by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The immersed boundary method is proven to be a successful scheme to model fluid-structure interactions. To ensure mass conservation, we will use the staggered discontinuous Galerkin method to discretize the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The staggered discontinuous Galerkin method is able to preserve the skew-symmetry of the convection term. In addition, by using a local postprocessing technique, the weakly divergence free velocity can be used to compute a new postprocessed velocity, which is exactly divergence free and has a superconvergence property. This strongly divergence free velocity field is the key to the mass conservation. Furthermore, energy stability is improved by the skew-symmetric discretization of the convection term. We will present several numerical results to show the performance of the method.
