We study the classes of modules which are generated by a silting module. In the case of either hereditary or perfect rings, it is proved that these are exactly the torsion T such that the regular module has a special T-preenvelope. In particular, every torsion-enveloping class in Mod-R are of the form Gen(T) for a minimal silting module T. For the dual case, we obtain for general rings that the covering torsion-free classes of modules are exactly the classes of the form Cogen(T), where T is a cosilting module.

We analyze discontinuous Galerkin methods using upwind-biased numerical fluxes for time-dependent linear conservation laws. In one dimension, optimal a priori error estimates of order $k+1$ are obtained for the semidiscrete scheme when piecewise polynomials of degree at most $k$ $(k \ge 0)$ are used. Our analysis is valid for arbitrary nonuniform regular meshes and for both periodic boundary conditions and for initial-boundary value problems. We extend the analysis to the multidimensional case on Cartesian meshes when piecewise tensor product polynomials are used, and to the fully discrete scheme with explicit Runge--Kutta time discretization. Numerical experiments are shown to demonstrate the theoretical results.

In this paper, a brief introduction of the nonlinear filtering problems and a review of the quasi-implicit Euler method are presented. The major contribution of this paper is that we propose a nonnegativity-preserving algorithm of Yau-Yau method for solving high-dimensional nonlinear filtering problems by applying quasi-implicit Euler method with discrete sine transform. Furthermore, our algorithms are directly applicable on the compact difference schemes, so that the number of spatial points can be substantially reduced and retain the same accuracy. Numerical results indicate that the proposed algorithm is capable of solving up to six-dimensional nonlinear filtering problems efficiently and accurately.
