Function Space Summation by Parts Operators and their Applications in Numerical Schemes
Summation-by-parts (SBP) operators are popular building blocks for sys- tematically developing stable and high-order accurate numerical methods for time-dependent differential equations. The main idea behind existing SBP op- erators is that the solution is assumed to be well approximated by polynomials up to a certain degree, and the SBP operator should therefore be exact for them. However, polynomials might not provide the best approximation for some prob- lems, and other approximation spaces may be more appropriate, cf. Figure 1. In this talk, we present the theory of SBP operators based on general function spaces (FSBP), demonstrate that most classical results for polynomial-based SBP operators carry over to FSBP operators and apply them in various numer- ical schemes. We focus especially on radial basis function (RBF) methods and construct stable RBF methods for time-dependent PDEs.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
