Fall 2013 research plans


Primary goals

  1. Efficient solution of nonlinear system for downwind implicit RK methods.
  2. Finilize work on strong stability preservation of additive multistep methods (theoretical and numerical results).
  3. Work on boundary conditions of RK and multistep methods with downwinding.

Week-by-week schedule

September 8 - 12:

  • Prove result about SSP region of additive multistep methods with downwinding.
  • Edit and complete matlab code for solving PDEs/ODEs using downwind methods.

September 15 - 19:

  • Prove remaining results for monotonicity of downwind ALMM (SSP coefficient bound for downwind ALMM of order more than one)
  • Investigate if different FE assumptions for additive methods give larger allowed time-steps for monotonicity.
  • Find analytical Jacobian for 1st and 2nd order TVD discretizations.

September 22 - 26:

  • Find analytical Jacobian for 1st and 2nd order TVD discretizations (cont.)
  • Write python code for solving hyperbolic PDEs/ODEs using downwind methods
  • Wrap-up results for downwind multistep methods.

September 29 - October 3:

  • Write python code for solving hyperbolic PDEs/ODEs using downwind methods (cont.)

October 6 - 10:

  • Search for possible implicit DWSSPRK(s,3), s>3 and DWSSPRK(s,4) with arbitrary large SSP coefficient.
  • Study Jacobian-free approaches to solve implicit problems:
    1. Read Jacobian-free Newton–Krylov methods: a survey of approaches and applications (D.A. Knoll, D.E. Keyes) and relevant papers.

October 13 - 17:

  • Eid Al Adha

October 20 - 24:

  • Study Jacobian-free approaches to solve implicit problems (cont.)
