High-order supplementary variable methods for thermodynamically consistent partial differential equations

Qi Hong et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in developing numerical methods to maintain consistency between the partial differential equation system and its deduced equations after numerical approximations. This paper introduces a new class of high-order supplementary variable methods, which have been rigorously proven to preserve high-order accuracy and stability while maintaining thermodynamic consistency. These methods are applied to two thermodynamically consistent partial differential equation systems, and benchmark examples are provided to demonstrate their accuracy, stability, and efficiency.

A modified and efficient phase field model for the biological transport network

Qing Xia et al.

Summary: This paper aims to establish a biological transport network using the phase field model, which considers the gradient properties on the boundaries. By modifying the original energy of the network generating model and applying the gradient flow method, the Poisson equation for pressure, the reaction-diffusion equation for network conductance, and the Allen-Cahn equation for the phase field are derived. The proposed model introduces conductivity and phase-field coupling terms to facilitate the generation of thin branches. The proposed algorithm, which uses the preconditioned conjugate gradient method with the multigrid method as a preconditioner, demonstrates efficiency, stability, and robustness in various numerical tests.

A remark on the invariant energy quadratization (IEQ) method for preserving the original energy dissipation laws

Zengyan Zhang et al.

Summary: In this letter, the authors revisit the invariant energy quadratization (IEQ) method and present a new perspective on its ability to preserve the original energy dissipation laws. The IEQ method is widely used for designing energy stable numerical schemes for phase-field or gradient flow models. However, it has the drawback of not guaranteeing the dissipation laws based on the original energy. The authors demonstrate, using the example of the Cahn-Hilliard equation, that the Runge-Kutta IEQ method can indeed preserve the original energy dissipation laws in certain situations with high accuracy. They encourage readers to extend this idea to more general cases and apply it to other thermodynamically consistent models.

GEOMETRIC INTEGRATION OF ODEs USING MULTIPLE QUADRATIC AUXILIARY VARIABLES

Benjamin K. Tapley

Summary: We present a novel numerical method for solving ODEs while preserving polynomial first integrals. The method reformulates the ODE by introducing quadratic auxiliary variables and applies the midpoint rule to an equivalent but higher-dimensional ODE with only quadratic integrals. The resulting method, a novel discrete gradient method, can eliminate the quadratic auxiliary variables and obtain a midpoint-like method on the original phase space. The method can be extended to higher-order through composition and is illustrated with various numerical examples.

Yue Chen et al.

Summary: In this paper, a quadratic auxiliary variable approach is proposed to develop energy-preserving Runge-Kutta methods for the Korteweg-de Vries equation. The approach reformulates the original model into an equivalent system and employs symplectic Runge-Kutta methods to obtain a new kind of time semi-discrete schemes. The proposed methods effectively preserve the energy conservation law and achieve efficient calculation with a iterative technique.
