چکیده

We study the l1-error of a Hamiltonian-preserving scheme, developed in [11], to the Liouville equation with a piecewise constant potential in one space dimension. This problem has important applications in computations of the semiclassical limit of the linear Schrödinger equation through barriers, and of the high frequency waves through interfaces. We use the l1-error estimates established in [28, 30] for the immersed interface upwind scheme to the linear advection equations with piecewise constant coefficients. We prove that the scheme with the Dirichlet incoming boundary conditions is l1-convergent for a class of bounded initial data, and derive the one-halfth order l1-error bounds with explicit coefficients. We show that the initial conditions can be satisfied by applying the decomposition technique proposed in [10] for solving the Liouville equation with measure-valued initial data, which arises in the semiclassical limit of the linear Schrödinger equation.

A Hamiltonian-Preserving Scheme for the Liouville Equation of Geometrical Optics with Partial Transmissions and Reflections

We construct a class of Hamiltonian-preserving numerical schemes for the Liouville equation of geometrical optics, with partial transmissions and reflections. This equation arises in the high frequency limit of the linear wave equation, with a discontinuous index of refraction. In our previous work [Hamiltonian-preserving schemes for the Liouville equation of geometrical optics with discontinuo...

Hamiltonian-preserving schemes for the Liouville equation with discontinuous potentials

When numerically solving the Liouville equation with a discontinuous potential, one faces the problem of selecting a unique, physically relevant solution across the potential barrier, and the problem of a severe time step constraint due to the CFL condition. In this paper, We introduce two classes of Hamiltonian-preserving schemes for such problems. By using the constant Hamiltonian across the ...

A posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$-error estimates with the new version of streamline diffusion method for the wave equation

In this article, we study the new streamline diffusion finite element for treating the linear second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem. We prove a posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$ and error estimates for this method under minimal regularity hypothesis. Test problem of an application of the wave equation in the laser is presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the method.

We construct a class of Hamiltonian-preserving numerical schemes for a Liouville equation of geometrical optics, with transmissions and reflections. This equation arises in the high frequency limit of the linear wave equation, with discontinuous local wave speed. In our previous work [23], we introduced the Hamiltonian-preserving schemes for the same equation when only complete transmissions or...
