Systematically generalizing planar geometric algorithms to manifold domains is of fundamental importance in computer aided design field. This paper proposes a novel theoretic framework, <i>geometric structure</i>, to conquer this problem. In order to discover the intrinsic geometric structures of general surfaces, we developed a theoretic rigorous and practical efficient method, <i>Discrete Variational Ricci flow</i>.

The numerical solution of the one-dimensional KleinGordon equation on an unbounded domain is analyzed in this paper. Two artificial boundary conditions are obtained to reduce the original problem to an initial boundary value problem on a bounded computational domain, which is discretized by an explicit difference scheme. The stability and convergence of the scheme are analyzed by the energy method. A fast algorithm is obtained to reduce the computational cost and a discrete artificial boundary condition (DABC) is derived by the <i>Z</i>-transform approach. Finally, we illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method by several numerical examples.

We review some important ideas in the design and analysis of robust overlapping domain decomposition algorithms for high-contrast multiscale problems.

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^d$, $1\leq d\leq 3$, be a bounded $d$-polytope. Consider the parabolic equation on $\Omega$ with the Dirac delta function on the right hand side. We study the well-posedness, regularity, and the interior error estimate of semidiscrete finite element approximations of the equation. In particular, we derive that the interior error is bounded by the best local approximation error, the negative norms of the error, and the negative norms of the time derivative of the error. This result implies different convergence rates for the numerical solution in different interior regions, especially when the region is close to the singular point. Numerical test results are reported to support the theoretical prediction.

We present a mathematical analysis of the asymptotic preserving scheme proposed in [M. Lemou and L. Mieussens, SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 31, pp. 334-368, 2008] for linear transport equations in kinetic and diffusive regimes. We prove that the scheme is uniformly stable and accurate with respect to the mean free path of the particles. This property is satisfied under an explicitly given CFL condition. This condition tends to a parabolic CFL condition for small mean free paths, and is close to a convection CFL condition for large mean free paths. Ou r analysis is based on very simple energy estimates.
