Topological and "–entropy for Large Volume Limits of Discretised Parabolic Equations

چکیده
We consider semi-discrete and fully discrete approximations of nonlinear parabolic equations in the limit of unbounded domains, which by a scaling argument is equivalent to the limit of small viscosity. We define the spatial density of "–entropy, topological entropy and dimension for the attractors and show that these quantities are bounded. We also provide practical means of computing lower bounds on them. The proof uses the property that solutions lie in Gevrey classes of analyticity, which we define in a way that does not depend on the size of the spatial domain. As a specific example we discuss the complex Ginzburg– Landau equation. Large Volume Limits of Discretised Parabolic Equations 1

The Definition and Measurement of the Topological Entropy per Unit Volume in Parabolic PDE’s
We define the topological entropy per unit volume in parabolic PDE’s such as the complex GinzburgLandau equation, and show that it exists and is bounded by the upper Hausdorff dimension times the maximal expansion rate. We then give a constructive implementation of a bound on the inertial range of such equations. Using this bound, we are able to propose a finite sampling algorithm which allows ...

متن کاملFully implicit, linearly implicit and implicit-explicit backward difference formulae for quasi-linear parabolic equations
Quasi-linear parabolic equations are discretised in time by fully implicit backward difference formulae (BDF) as well as by implicit–explicit and linearly implicit BDF methods up to order 5. Under appropriate stability conditions for the various methods considered, we establish optimal order a priori error bounds by energy estimates, which become applicable via the Nevanlinna-Odeh multiplier te...

S (in alphabetic order by speaker surname) Anton Arnold (TU Wien) Entropy method for hypocoercive Fokker-Planck equations with linear drift In the last 15 years the entropy method became an invaluable tool for analyzing the large-time behavior (in particular the convergence to a steady state) for wide classes of PDEs: starting from linear FokkerPlanck equations, to various dissipative kinetic m...
متن کاملA finite volume scheme for boundary-driven convection-diffusion equations with relative entropy structure
We propose a finite volume scheme for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations endowed with non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and which admit relative entropy functionals. For this kind of models including porous media equations, Fokker-Planck equations for plasma physics or dumbbell models for polymer flows, it has been proved that the transient solution converges to a steady-state...
