Convergence of moment methods for linear kinetic equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Numerical methods for linear kinetic equations based on moment expansions for a discretization in the velocity direction are examined. The moment equations are hyperbolic systems which can be shown to converge to the kinetic equation as the order of the expansion tends to innnity and to a drift-diiusion model as the Knudsen number tends to zero. A discretiza-tion of the moment equations with respect to time and space is presented, a stability result is proven and some aspects of an implementation are discussed. In particular, an adaptive procedure is described where the order of the expansion is determined locally. Results of numerical experiments are presented.

Numerical methods for solving moment equations in kinetic theory of neuronal network dynamics
Recently developed kinetic theory and related closures for neuronal network dynamics have been demonstrated to be a powerful theoretical framework for investigating coarse-grained dynamical properties of neuronal networks. The moment equations arising from the kinetic theory are a system of (1 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) on a bounded domain with nonlinear bou...
متن کاملA new model of (I+S)-type preconditioner for system of linear equations
In this paper, we design a new model of preconditioner for systems of linear equations. The convergence properties of the proposed methods have been analyzed and compared with the classical methods. Numerical experiments of convection-diffusion equations show a good im- provement on the convergence, and show that the convergence rates of proposed methods are superior to the other modified itera...
متن کاملModeling of Reversible Chain Transfer Catalyzed Polymerization by Moment Equations Method
A moment equations method was performed to study the Reversible chain Transfer Catalyzed Polymerization (RTCP) of styrene in 80°C. To do this, a kinetic scheme containing conventional free radical polymerization reactions and equilibrium reactions of RTCP was assumed. After obtaining mass balance equations, three moment equations were defined for free and dormant radicals and dead chains. M...

Preconditioned Generalized Minimal Residual Method for Solving Fractional Advection-Diffusion Equation
Introduction Fractional differential equations (FDEs) have attracted much attention and have been widely used in the fields of finance, physics, image processing, and biology, etc. It is not always possible to find an analytical solution for such equations. The approximate solution or numerical scheme may be a good approach, particularly, the schemes in numerical linear algebra for solving ...
