Abstract
In his monograph Chebyshev and Fourier Spectral Methods, John Boyd claimed that, regarding Fourier spectral methods for solving differential equations, “[t]he virtues of the Fast Fourier Transform will continue to improve as the relentless march to larger and larger [bandwidths] continues” [Boyd in Chebyshev and Fourier spectral methods, second rev ed. Dover Publications, Mineola, NY, 2001, pg. 194]. This paper attempts to further the virtue of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) as not only bandwidth is pushed to its limits, but also the dimension of the problem. Instead of using the traditional FFT however, we make a key substitution: a high-dimensional, sparse Fourier transform paired with randomized rank-1 lattice methods. The resulting sparse spectral method rapidly and automatically determines a set of Fourier basis functions whose span is guaranteed to contain an accurate approximation of the solution of a given elliptic PDE. This much smaller, near-optimal Fourier basis is then used to efficiently solve the given PDE in a runtime which only depends on the PDE’s data compressibility and ellipticity properties, while breaking the curse of dimensionality and relieving linear dependence on any multiscale structure in the original problem. Theoretical performance of the method is established herein with convergence analysis in the Sobolev norm for a general class of non-constant diffusion equations, as well as pointers to technical extensions of the convergence analysis to more general advection–diffusion–reaction equations. Numerical experiments demonstrate good empirical performance on several multiscale and high-dimensional example problems, further showcasing the promise of the proposed methods in practice.
期刊介绍:
Foundations of Computational Mathematics (FoCM) will publish research and survey papers of the highest quality which further the understanding of the connections between mathematics and computation. The journal aims to promote the exploration of all fundamental issues underlying the creative tension among mathematics, computer science and application areas unencumbered by any external criteria such as the pressure for applications. The journal will thus serve an increasingly important and applicable area of mathematics. The journal hopes to further the understanding of the deep relationships between mathematical theory: analysis, topology, geometry and algebra, and the computational processes as they are evolving in tandem with the modern computer.
With its distinguished editorial board selecting papers of the highest quality and interest from the international community, FoCM hopes to influence both mathematics and computation. Relevance to applications will not constitute a requirement for the publication of articles.
The journal does not accept code for review however authors who have code/data related to the submission should include a weblink to the repository where the data/code is stored.
