The dynamic Laplace operator arises from extending problems of isoperimetry from fixed manifolds to manifolds evolved by general nonlinear dynamics. Eigenfunctions of this operator are used to identify and track finite-time coherent sets, which physically manifest in fluid flows as jets, vortices, and more complicated structures. Two robust and efficient finite-element discretisation schemes for numerically computing the dynamic Laplacian were proposed in Froyland & Junge (2018). In this work we consider higher-orde

Finite-time coherent sets represent minimally mixing objects in general nonlinear dynamics, and are spatially mobile features that are the most predictable in the medium term. When the dynamical system is subjected to small parameter change, one can ask about the rate of change of (i) the location and shape of the coherent sets, and (ii) the mixing properties (how much more or less mixing), with respect to the parameter. We answer these questions by developing linear response theory for the eigenfunctions of the dynamic Laplace operator, from which one readily obtains the linear response of the corresponding coherent sets. We construct efficient numerical methods based on a recent finite-element approach and provide numerical examples.
The stochastic partial differential equation approach to Gaussian processes (GPs) represents Matern GP priors in terms of $n$ finite element basis functions and Gaussian coefficients with sparse precision matrix. Such representations enhance the scal ability of GP regression and classification to datasets of large size $N$ by setting $napprox N$ and exploiting sparsity. In this paper we reconsider the standard choice $n approx N$ through an analysis of the estimation performance. Our theory implies that, under certain smoothness assumptions, one can reduce the computation and memory cost without hindering the estimation accuracy by setting $n ll N$ in the large $N$ asymptotics. Numerical experiments illustrate the applicability of our theory and the effect of the prior lengthscale in the pre-asymptotic regime.
A numerical scheme is presented for approximating fractional order Poisson problems in two and three dimensions. The scheme is based on reformulating the original problem posed over $Omega$ on the extruded domain $mathcal{C}=Omegatimes[0,infty)$ foll owing Caffarelli and Silvestre (2007). The resulting degenerate elliptic integer order PDE is then approximated using a hybrid FEM-spectral scheme. Finite elements are used in the direction parallel to the problem domain $Omega$, and an appropriate spectral method is used in the extruded direction. The spectral part of the scheme requires that we approximate the true eigenvalues of the integer order Laplacian over $Omega$. We derive an a priori error estimate which takes account of the error arising from using an approximation in place of the true eigenvalues. We further present a strategy for choosing approximations of the eigenvalues based on Weyls law and finite element discretizations of the eigenvalue problem. The system of linear algebraic equations arising from the hybrid FEM-spectral scheme is decomposed into blocks which can be solved effectively using standard iterative solvers such as multigrid and conjugate gradient. Numerical examples in two and three dimensions show that the approach is quasi-optimal in terms of complexity.
In this work we formally derive and prove the correctness of the algorithms and data structures in a parallel, distributed-memory, generic finite element framework that supports h-adaptivity on computational domains represented as forest-of-trees. Th e framework is grounded on a rich representation of the adaptive mesh suitable for generic finite elements that is built on top of a low-level, light-weight forest-of-trees data structure handled by a specialized, highly parallel adaptive meshing engine, for which we have identified the requirements it must fulfill to be coupled into our framework. Atop this two-layered mesh representation, we build the rest of data structures required for the numerical integration and assembly of the discrete system of linear equations. We consider algorithms that are suitable for both subassembled and fully-assembled distributed data layouts of linear system matrices. The proposed framework has been implemented within the FEMPAR scientific software library, using p4est as a practical forest-of-octrees demonstrator. A strong scaling study of this implementation when applied to Poisson and Maxwell problems reveals remarkable scalability up to 32.2K CPU cores and 482.2M degrees of freedom. Besides, a comparative performance study of FEMPAR and the state-of-the-art deal.ii finite element software shows at least comparative performance, and at most factor 2-3 improvements in the h-adaptive approximation of a Poisson problem with first- and second-order Lagrangian finite elements, respectively.
Stokes variational inequalities arise in the formulation of glaciological problems involving contact. Two important examples of such problems are that of the grounding line of a marine ice sheet and the evolution of a subglacial cavity. In general, r igid modes are present in the velocity space, rendering the variational inequality semicoercive. In this work, we consider a mixed formulation of this variational inequality involving a Lagrange multiplier and provide an analysis of its finite element approximation. Error estimates in the presence of rigid modes are obtained by means of a novel technique involving metric projections onto closed convex cones. Numerical results are reported to validate the error estimates and demonstrate the advantages of using a mixed formulation in a glaciological application.
