We consider the quintic generalized Korteweg–de Vries equation (gKdV) $$u_t + (u_{xx} + u^5)_x =0,$$ which is a canonical mass critical problem, for initial data in$H$^{1}close to the soliton. In earlier works on this problem, finite- or infinite-time blow up was proved for non-positive energy solutions, and the solitary wave was shown to be the universal blow-up profile, see [16], [26] and [20]. For well-localized initial data, finite-time blow up with an upper bound on blow-up rate was obtained in [18].

In this paper, we develop a class of nonlinear compact schemes based on our previous linear central compact schemes with spectral-like resolution [X. Liu, S. Zhang, H. Zhang and C-W. Shu, A new class of central compact schemes with spectral-like resolution I: Linear schemes, Journal of Computational Physics 248 (2013) 235-256]. In our approach, we compute the flux derivatives on the cell-nodes by the physical fluxes on the cell nodes and numerical fluxes on the cell centers. To acquire the numerical fluxes on the cell centers, we perform a weighted hybrid interpolation of an upwind interpolation and a central interpolation. Through systematic analysis and numerical tests, we show that our nonlinear compact scheme has high order, high resolution and low dissipation, and has the same ability to capture strong discontinuities as regular weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes. It is a good choice for the simulation of multiscale problems with shock waves.

We introduce a homotopy theory of digraphs (directed graphs) and prove its basic properties, including the relations to the homology theory of digraphs constructed by the authors in previous papers. In particular, we prove the homotopy invariance of homologies of digraphs and the relation between the fundamental group of the digraph and its first homology group. The category of (undirected) graphs can be identified by a natural way with a full subcategory of digraphs. Thus we obtain also consistent homology and homotopy theories for graphs.
