In this paper, we consider multiple signals sharing same instantaneous frequencies. This kind of data is very common in scientic and engineering problems. To take ad- vantage of this special structure, we modify our data-driven time-frequency analysis by updating the instantaneous frequencies simultaneously. Moreover, based on the simul- taneously sparsity approximation and fast Fourier transform, some ecient algorithms is developed. Since the information of multiple signals is used, this method is very ro- bust to the perturbation of noise. And it is applicable to the general nonperiodic signals even with missing samples or outliers. Several synthetic and real signals are used to test this method. The performances of this method are very promising.

In this paper, we consider the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods to solve linear hyperbolic equations with singular initial data. With the help of weight functions, the superconvergence properties outside the pollution region will be investigated. We show that, by using piecewise polynomials of degree $k$ and suitable initial discretizations, the DG solution is $(2k+1)$-th order accurate at the downwind points and $(k+2)$-th order accurate at all the other downwind-biased Radau points. Moreover, the derivative of error between the DG and exact solutions converges at a rate of $k+1$ at all the interior upwind-biased Radau points. Besides the above, the DG solution is also $(k+2)$-th order accurate towards a particular projection of the exact solution and the numerical cell averages are $(2k+1)$-th order accurate. Numerical experiments are presented to confirm the theoretical results.

This paper presents a least-squares finite element method for linear Phan-Thien–Tanner(PTT) viscoelastic fluid flows. We consider stabilized weights in the LS method for the viscoelastic model and prove that the LS approximation converges to the linearized solutions of the linear PTT model; the convergence is at the optimal rate for the velocity in the H1-norm and at suboptimal rates for the stress and pressure in the L2-norm, respectively. For numerical experiments, we first consider the flow through a planar channel to illustrate our theoretical results. The LS method is then applied to a flow through the slot channel with two depth ratios and the effects of physical parameters are discussed. Numerical solutions of the channel problem indicate that flow characteristics of the viscoelastic polymer solution are described by the results obtained using the method. Furthermore, we present the hole pressure for various Weissenberg numbers, and compare with that derived from the Higashitani–Pritchard (HP) theory.

We consider the reconstruction of the Robin impedance coefficient of a heat conduction system in a two-dimensional spatial domain from the time-average measurement specified on the boundary. By applying the potential representation of a solution, this nonlinear inverse problem is transformed into an ill-posed integral system coupling the density function for potential and the unknown boundary impedance. The uniqueness as well as the conditional stability of this inverse problem is established from the integral system. Then we propose to find the boundary impedance by solving a non-convex regularizing optimization problem. The well-posedness of this optimization problem together with the convergence property of the minimizer is analyzed. Finally, based on the singularity decomposition of the potential representation of the solution, two iteration schemes with their numerical realizations are proposed to solve this optimization problem

In this paper, we propose a numerical method to solve isotropic elliptic equations on point cloud by generalizing the point integral method. The idea of the point integral method is to approximate the differential operators by integral operators and discretize the corresponding integral equation on point cloud. The key step is to get the integral approximation. In this paper, with proper kernel function, we get an integral approximation for the elliptic operators with isotropic coefficients. Moreover, the integral approximation has been proved to keep the coercivity of the original elliptic operator. The convergence of the point integral method is also proved.
