Title: The time dimensional reduction method to determine the initial conditions without the knowledge of damping coefficients
This paper aims to reconstruct the initial condition of a hyperbolic equation with an unknown damping coefficient. Our approach involves approximating the hyperbolic equation’s solution by its truncated Fourier expansion in the time domain and using the recently developed polynomial-exponential basis. This truncation process facilitates the elimination of the time variable, consequently, yielding a system of quasi-linear elliptic equations. To globally solve the system without needing an accurate initial guess, we employ the Carleman contraction principle. We provide several numerical examples to illustrate the efficacy of our method. The method not only delivers precise solutions but also showcases remarkable computational efficiency.  more » « less

  1. This is the second paper in a series in which we develop machine learning (ML) moment closure models for the radiative transfer equation (RTE). In our previous work \cite{huang2021gradient}, we proposed an approach to directly learn the gradient of the unclosed high order moment, which performs much better than learning the moment itself and the conventional PN closure. However, the ML moment closure model in \cite{huang2021gradient} is not able to guarantee hyperbolicity and long time stability. We propose in this paper a method to enforce the global hyperbolicity of the ML closure model. The main idea is to seek a symmetrizer (a symmetric positive definite matrix) for the closure system, and derive constraints such that the system is globally symmetrizable hyperbolic. It is shown that the new ML closure system inherits the dissipativeness of the RTE and preserves the correct diffusion limit as the Knunsden number goes to zero. Several benchmark tests including the Gaussian source problem and the two-material problem show the good accuracy, long time stability and generalizability of our globally hyperbolic ML closure model.

    We propose and study a one-dimensional \begin{document}$ 2\times 2 $\end{document} hyperbolic Eulerian system with local relaxation from critical threshold phenomena perspective. The system features dynamic transition between strictly and weakly hyperbolic. For different classes of relaxation we identify intrinsic critical thresholds for initial data that distinguish global regularity and finite time blowup. For relaxation independent of density, we estimate bounds on density in terms of velocity where the system is strictly hyperbolic.

  3. This is the first part of the four-paper sequence, which establishes the Threshold Conjecture and the Soliton Bubbling vs. Scattering Dichotomy for the energy critical hyperbolic Yang-Mills equation in the (4 + 1)-dimensional Minkowski space-time. The primary subject of this paper, however, is another PDE, namely the energy critical Yang-Mills heat flow on the 4-dimensional Euclidean space. Our first goal is to establish sharp criteria for global existence and asymptotic convergence to a flat connection for this system in H1, including the Dichotomy Theorem (i.e., either the above properties hold or a harmonic Yang-Mills connection bubbles off) and the Threshold Theorem (i.e., if the initial energy is less than twice that of the ground state, then the above properties hold). Our second goal is to use the Yang-Mills heat flow in order to define the caloric gauge, which will play a major role in the analysis of the hyperbolic Yang-Mills equation in the subsequent papers.

  4. Abstract We prove the existence of asymptotically hyperbolic solutions to the vacuum Einstein constraint equations with a marginally outer trapped boundary of positive mean curvature, using the constant mean curvature conformal method. As an application of this result, we verify the Penrose inequality for certain perturbations of Schwarzschild Anti-de Sitter black hole initial data.

  5. The effectiveness of the hyperbolic relaxation method for solving the Einstein constraint equations numerically is studied here on a variety of compact orientable three-manifolds. Convergent numerical solutions are found using this method on manifolds admitting negative Ricci scalar curvature metrics, i.e., those from the 𝐻3 and the 𝐻2×𝑆1 geometrization classes. The method fails to produce solutions, however, on all the manifolds examined here admitting non-negative Ricci scalar curvatures, i.e., those from the 𝑆3, 𝑆2×𝑆1, and the 𝐸3 classes. This study also finds that the accuracy of the convergent solutions produced by hyperbolic relaxation can be increased significantly by performing fairly low-cost standard elliptic solves using the hyperbolic relaxation solutions as initial guesses.
