Numerical mode matching (NMM) methods are widely used for analyzing wave propagation and scattering in structures that are piece-wise uniform along one spatial direction. For open structures that are unbounded in transverse directions (perpendicular to the uniform direction), the NMM methods use the perfectly matched layer (PML) technique to truncate the transverse variables. When incident waves are specified in homogeneous media surrounding the main structure, the total field is not always outgoing, and the NMM methods rely on reference solutions for each uniform segment. Existing NMM methods have difficulty handing gracing incident waves and special incident waves related to the onset of total internal reflection, and are not very efficient at computing reference solutions for non-plane incident waves. In this paper, a new NMM method is developed to overcome these limitations. A Robin-type boundary condition is proposed to ensure that non-propagating and non-decaying wave field components are not reflected by truncated PMLs. Exponential convergence of the PML solutions based on the hybrid Dirichlet-Robin boundary condition is established theoretically. A fast method is developed for computing reference solutions for cylindrical incident waves. The new NMM is implemented for two-dimensional structures and polarized electromagnetic waves. Numerical experiments are carried out to validate the new NMM method and to demonstrate its performance.

For scattering problems of time-harmonic waves, the boundary integral equation (BIE) methods are highly competitive, since they are formulated on lower-dimension boundaries or interfaces, and can automatically satisfy outgoing radiation conditions. F or scattering problems in a layered medium, standard BIE methods based on the Greens function of the background medium must evaluate the expensive Sommefeld integrals. Alternative BIE methods based on the free-space Greens function give rise to integral equations on unbounded interfaces which are not easy to truncate, since the wave fields on these interfaces decay very slowly. We develop a BIE method based on the perfectly matched layer (PML) technique. The PMLs are widely used to suppress outgoing waves in numerical methods that directly discretize the physical space. Our PML-based BIE method uses the Greens function of the PML-transformed free space to define the boundary integral operators. The method is efficient, since the Greens function of the PML-transformed free space is easy to evaluate and the PMLs are very effective in truncating the unbounded interfaces. Numerical examples are presented to validate our method and demonstrate its accuracy.

This paper presents a numerical method to implement the parameter estimation method using response statistics that was recently formulated by the authors. The proposed approach formulates the parameter estimation problem of It^o drift diffusions as a nonlinear least-squares problem. To avoid solving the model repeatedly when using an iterative scheme in solving the resulting least-squares problems, a polynomial surrogate model is employed on appropriate response statistics with smooth dependence on the parameters. The existence of minimizers of the approximate polynomial least-squares problems that converge to the solution of the true least square problem is established under appropriate regularity assumption of the essential statistics as functions of parameters. Numerical implementation of the proposed method is conducted on two prototypical examples that belong to classes of models with wide range of applications, including the Langevin dynamics and the stochastically forced gradient flows. Several important practical issues, such as the selection of the appropriate response operator to ensure the identifiability of the parameters and the reduction of the parameter space, are discussed. From the numerical experiments, it is found that the proposed approach is superior compared to the conventional approach that uses equilibrium statistics to determine the parameters.

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 convoluti on 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.

In this work, we are interested in the determination of the shape of the scatterer for the two dimensional time harmonic inverse medium scattering problems in acoustics. The scatterer is assumed to be a piecewise constant function with a known value inside inhomogeneities, and its shape is represented by the level set functions for which we investigate the information using the Bayesian method. In the Bayesian framework, the solution of the geometric inverse problem is defined as a posterior probability distribution. The well-posedness of the posterior distribution would be discussed, and the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods will be applied to generate samples from the arising posterior distribution. Numerical experiments will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a novel method to establish the wellposedness and convergence theory of the uniaxial-perfectly-matched-layer (UPML) method in solving a two-dimensional acoustic scattering problem due to a compactly supported source, where the med ium consists of two layers separated by the horizontal axis. When perfectly matched layer (PML) is used to truncate the vertical variable only, the medium structure becomes a closed waveguide. The Green function due to a primary source point in this waveguide can be constructed explicitly based on variable separations and Fourier transformations. In the horizontal direction, by properly placing periodical PMLs and locating periodic source points imaged by the primary source point, the exciting waveguide Green functions by those imaging points can be assembled to construct the Green function due to the primary source point for the two-layer medium truncated by a UPML. Incorporated with Greens identities, this UPML Green function directly leads to the wellposedness of the acoustic scattering problem in a UPML truncation with no constraints about wavenumbers or UPML absorbing strength. Consequently, we firstly prove that such a UPML truncating problem is unconditionally resonance free. Moreover, we show, under quite general conditions, that this UPML Green function converges to the exact layered Green function exponentially fast as absorbing strength of the UPML increases, which in turn gives rise to the exponential convergence of the solution of the UPML problem towards the original solution.
