Energy-equidistributed moving mesh strategies for simulating Hamiltonian partial differential equations

Abstract

This paper presents an innovative energy-equidistributed moving mesh strategy for simulating Hamiltonian partial differential equations (PDEs) characterized by solitons and rapid temporal variations. A novel framework, named the Energy Equidistribution Principles (EEPs), is introduced, highlighting the critical role of energy conservation in achieving accurate simulations. Building on EEPs, three kinds of energy-equidistributed moving mesh PDEs (EMMPDEs) are proposed, each grounded in different methodologies. These strategies are rigorously examined in terms of their convergence conditions and rates. Both theoretical analysis and numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed EMMPDEs offer superior robustness and effectiveness in long-term simulations, compared to traditional arc-length-equidistributed MMPDEs.
