Abstract The Boundary Element Method (BEM) is a discretization technique commonly employed for the accurate and rapid numerical solution of constant-coefficient second-order partial differential equations (PDEs) in the complement of an obstacle, e.g., electromagnetic scattering problems. The BEM exploits the fundamental solution of the PDE to reduce the number of unknowns compared to the Finite Element Method for the same level of error. However, it is a non-local method and thus leads to full linear systems. For this reason, the BEM linear systems are often solved iteratively, and good preconditioners often turn out to be a key ingredient to ensure a fast resolution. In this talk, we present the motivation and the practical and mathematical challenges for extending the BEM to geometric settings involving non-manifold boundaries. We will first summarize the recent advances in the mathematical formalization of this problem. We will then present a particular preconditioning technique for "multi-screen" obstacles based on substructuring (domain decomposition). This work is in collaboration with Xavier Claeys and Ralf Hiptmair.

Abstract In this talk we will use the periodic cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation to present some estimates of the long time dynamics of the energy spectrum, a fundamental object in the study of wave turbulence theory. Going back to Bourgain, one possible way to conduct the analysis is to look at the growth of high Sobolev norms. It turns out that this growth is sensitive to the nature of the space periodicity of the system. I will present a combination of old and very recent results in this direction.

Abstract We present our recent developments on the asymptotic expansions of high-frequency multiple scattering iterations in the exterior of sound-hard scatterers. As in the sound-soft case, these expansions lead into wavenumber dependent estimates on the derivatives (of all orders) of the multiple scattering iterations which, in turn, allow for the design and analysis of Galerkin boundary element methods (BEM) for their frequency independent approximation. We also present preliminary theoretical developments related to the accurate approximation of the remaining infinite tail in the Neumann series formulation of multiple scattering problems. Time permitting, in the second part of the talk, we present our preliminary results on the frequency independent approximation of the sound-soft scattering amplitude based on Bayliss-Turkel type local approximations to the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator.

Abstract In this talk, we will focus on solving time-harmonic, acoustic, elastic and polarized electromagnetic waves scattered by multiple finite-length open arcs in unbounded two-dimensional domain. We will first recast the corresponding boundary value problems with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions, as weakly- and hyper-singular boundary integral equations (BIEs), respectively. Then, we will introduce a family of fast spectral Galerkin methods for solving the associated BIEs. Discretization bases of the resulting BIEs employ weighted Chebyshev polynomials that capture the solutions' edge behavior. We will show that these bases guarantee exponential convergence in the polynomial degree when assuming analyticity of sources and arc geometries. Numerical examples will demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed methods with respect to number of arcs and wavenumber. Moreover, we will show that for general weakly- and hyper-singular boundary integral equations their solutions depend holomorphically upon perturbations of the arcs' parametrizations. These results are key to prove the shape holomorphy of domain-to-solution maps associated to BIEs appearing in uncertainty quantification, inverse problems and deep learning, to name a few applications. Also, they pose new questions you may have the answer to!

Abstract The development of efficient reduced order models (ROMs) from a deep learning perspective enables users to overcome the limitations of traditional approaches [1, 2]. One drawback of the techniques based on convolutional autoencoders is the lack of geometrical information when dealing with complex domains defined on unstructured meshes. The present work proposes a framework for nonlinear model order reduction based on Graph Convolutional Autoencoders (GCA) to exploit emergent patterns in different physical problems, including those showing bifurcating behavior, high-dimensional parameter space, slow Kolmogorov-decay, and varying domains [3]. Our methodology extracts the latent space’s evolution while introducing geometric priors, possibly alleviating the learning process through up- and down-sampling operations. Among the advantages, we highlight the high generalizability in the low-data regime and the great speedup. Moreover, we will present a novel graph feedforward network (GFN), extending the GCA approach to exploit multifidelity data, leveraging graph-adaptive weights, enabling large savings, and providing computable error bounds for the predictions [4]. This way, we overcome the limitations of the up- and down-sampling procedures by building a resolution-invariant GFN-ROM strategy capable of training and testing on different mesh sizes, resulting in a more lightweight and flexible architecture.
