Emmrich (TU Berlin), M. Bukal (Zagreb), J.-P. Milišić (Zagreb), S. Schuchnigg (Vienna) Introduction: Entropy methods Implicit Euler finite volumes Higher-order time schemes Extension

2 Introduction 2 Entropy = Measure of molecular disorder or energy dispersal Entropy in physics: Introduced by Clausius (1865) in thermodynamics Boltzmann, Gibbs, Maxwell: statistical interpretation Shannon (1948): concept of information entropy Entropy in mathematics: entropy Lyapunov functional Lax (1973): entropy in hyperbolic conservation laws DiPerna Lions (1989): entropy in kinetic theory Connections to functional inequalities (Gross 1975) and stochastic diffusion processes (Bakry-Emery 1983) Toscani (1997): kinetic Fokker-Planck equations Main aim: Derive (sharp) decay rates to equilibrium

3 Introduction 3 Example: Fokker-Planck eq. t u = div( u+xu) in R d Entropy: H[u] = Ω ulog u u dx, u = e x 2 /2 : steady state Entropy-dissipation inequality: D[u] = dh dt [u] = R d u log u u 2 dx 0 Second-order time derivative: (Bakry-Emery 1983) d 2 H dt [u]= ( 2u log u 2 ) 2 R d u +(...) 2 dx 2 dh dt dh dt 2H Consequence 1 : Exponential decay to equilibrium H[u(t)] H[u(0)]e 2t, t 0 Consequence 2 : Logarithmic Sobolev inequality: H[u] = ulog u u dx 1 Ω 2 T D[u] = 2 u 2 d u u dx Benefit: very robust, in particular for nonlinear problems

4 Introduction 4 Abstract entropy-dissipation method Setting: u solves A(u) = 0, u solves t u+a(u) = 0, t > 0, u(0) = u 0 Lyapunov functional: H[u] satisfies dh dt [u(t)] 0 for t 0 Entropy: convex Lyapunov functional H[u] such that D[u] := dh dt [u] = A(u),H [u] 0 Bakry-Emery approach: show that, for κ > 0, d 2 H dt [u] κdh 2 dt [u] D[u] = dh [u] κh[u] dt Consequences: dh dt κh implies that H[u(t)] H[u(0)]e κt t > 0 H[u] κ 1 D[u] corresponds to convex Sobolev inequality

5 Introduction 5 Setting: t u+a(u) = 0, t > 0, u(0) = u 0 Program: Develop discrete entropy methods Tasks: Entropy-dissipating discrete schemes: dh dt [u] 0 Discrete large-time asymptotics: H[u(t)] H[u(0)]e κt Discrete convex Sobolev inequality: H[u] κ 1 D[u] Discretizations: Time discretizations: Euler implicit, higher-order schemes... Space discretization: Finite volumes, finite elements, DG... Fully discrete schemes Higher-order minimizing movement schemes Equations: Porous-medium, quantum diffusion, systems...

15 Semi-discrete multistep scheme 15 Discrete entropy method: Aim: Develop entropy-dissipative one-leg multistep scheme Difficulty: Energy dissipation based on quadratic 1 2 u 2 G Key idea: Enforce quadratic structure by v 2 = H(u) t u+a(u) = 0 H(u) 1/2 H (u) 1 t v A(u) = 0 Semi-discrete scheme: H(w k ) 1/2 H (w k ) 1 ρ(e)v k + τ 2 A(wk ) = 0 w k = H 1 ((σ(e)v k ) 2 ) Let H(u) = u α, α 1: ρ(e)v k +τb(σ(e)v k ) = 0, B(v) = α 2 v1 2/α A(v 2/α ) Is the scheme well-posed? Yes, under conditions on A Entropy dissipativity & positivity preservation? Yes! Numerical convergence order? Maximal order two

16 Semi-discrete multistep scheme 16 ρ(e)v k +τb(σ(e)v k ) = 0, B(v) = α 2 v1 2/α A(v 2/α ) Proposition (Entropy dissipation): Let (ρ, σ) be G-stable. Then H[V k ] = 1 2 V k 2 G with V k = (v k,...,v k+p 1 ) is nonincreasing in k. (Recall that (σ(e)v k ) 2/α u(t k ).) Proof: Use G-stability and assumption A(w k ),H (w k ) 0. Theorem (Convergence rate): Let (ρ, σ) be G-stable and of second order. Let u be smooth, B +κid be positive. Then, for τ > 0 small, v k u(t k ) α/2 Cτ 2. Proof: Use idea of Hundsdorfer/Steininger Well-posedness? Depends on specific operator A. Examples.

17 Semi-discrete multistep scheme 17 Population model (Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto 1979) Motivation: Models segregation of population species Population densities: u 1, u 2, periodic boundary conditions t u 1 div((d 1 +a 1 u 1 +u 2 ) u 1 +u 1 u 2 ) = 0 t u 2 div((d 2 +a 2 u 2 +u 1 ) u 2 +u 2 u 1 ) = 0 Theorem: (A.J.-Milišić, NMPDE 2015) Let d 3, 1 < α < 2, 4a 1 a 2 max{a 1,a 2 }+1, (ρ,σ) G-stable. Then solution (v1,v k 2,w k 1,w k 2) k W 1,3/2 (T d ) such that wj k, σ(e)vk j 0 and H[V k+1 ]+ 2τ 2 α 2(α 1) d j (wj) k α/2 2 dx H[V k ] T d j=1 Scheme is nonnegativity-preserving and entropy-dissipative

18 Semi-discrete multistep scheme 18 Quantum diffusion model t u+ 2 : (u 2 logu) = 0 in T d, u(0) = u 0 Theorem: (A.J.-Milišić, NMPDE 2015) Let d 3, 1 < α < ( d+1) 2 d+2, (ρ,σ) G-stable. Then solution (v k,w k ) with (w k ) α/2 H 2 (T d ), w k,σ(e)v k 0 to 2 ατ (wk ) 1 α/2 1 ρ(e)v k + 2 : (w k 2 logw k ) = 0 in T d satisfying discrete entropy inequality H[V k+1 ]+ ατ 2 κ α ( (w k ) α/2 ) 2 dx H[V k ] T d Scheme is positivity-preserving and entropy-dissipative Conclusion: Method works well if u α, ulogu are entropies. Drawback: Discrete entropy not natural. Other time approx.?
