چکیده
We develop a family of second-order implicit-explicit (IMEX) schemes for the stiff BGK kinetic equation. The method is asymptotic-preserving (can capture the Euler limit without numerically resolving the small Knudsen number) as well as positivity-preserving — a feature that is not possessed by any of the existing second or high order IMEX schemes. The method is based on the usual IMEX Runge-Kutta framework plus a key correction step utilizing the special structure of the BGK operator. Formal analysis is presented to demonstrate the property of the method and is supported by various numerical results. Moreover, we show that themethod satisfies an entropy-decay property when coupledwith suitable spatial discretizations. Additionally, we discuss the generalization of the method to some hyperbolic relaxation system and provide a strategy to extend the method to third order.

A study of Landau damping with random initial inputs
For the Vlasov-Poisson equation with random uncertain initial data, we prove that the Landau damping solution given by the deterministic counterpart (Caglioti and Maffei, J. Stat. Phys., 92:301-323, 1998) depends smoothly on the random variable if the time asymptotic profile does, under the smoothness and smallness assumptions similar to the deterministic case. The main idea is to generalize th...

متن کاملA Stochastic Galerkin Method for the Boltzmann Equation with High Dimensional Random Inputs Using Sparse Grids
We propose a stochastic Galerkin method using sparse grids for the Boltzmann equation with high dimensional random inputs. The method uses locally supported piecewise polynomials as an orthonormal basis of the random space. By a sparse grid technique, only a moderate number of basis functions are required to achieve good accuracy in high dimensional random spaces. We discover a sparse structure...
متن کاملUniform regularity in the random space and spectral accuracy of the stochastic Galerkin method for a kinetic-fluid two-phase flow model with random initial inputs in the light particle regime∗
We consider a kinetic-fluid model with random initial inputs which describes disperse two-phase flows. In the light particle regime, using energy estimates, we prove the uniform regularity in the random space of the model for random initial data near the global equilibrium in some suitable Sobolev spaces, with the randomness in the initial particle distribution and fluid velocity. By hypocoerci...
متن کاملOral nano-delivery of anticancer ginsenoside 25-OCH3-PPD, a natural inhibitor of the MDM2 oncogene: Nanoparticle preparation, characterization, in vitro and in vivo anti-prostate cancer activity, and mechanisms of action
The Mouse Double Minute 2 (MDM2) oncogene plays a critical role in cancer development and progression through p53-dependent and p53-independent mechanisms. Both natural and synthetic MDM2 inhibitors have been shown anticancer activity against several human cancers. We have recently identified a novel ginsenoside, 25-OCH3-PPD (GS25), one of the most active anticancer ginsenosides discovered thus...
