Title
Inverses and pseudoinverses of SBP-SAT finite difference operators
Abstract
I will talk about Inverses of SBP-SAT Finite Difference Operators, and possibly about the related project about Pseudoinverses of singular SBP-SAT Finite Difference Operators (joint work with Siyang Wang, Umeå universitet)
For the inverses, the scalar, one-dimensional advection equation and heat equation are considered. These equations are discretized in space, using a finite difference method satisfying summation-by-parts (SBP) properties. To impose the boundary conditions, a penalty method called simultaneous approximation term (SAT) is used. Together, this gives rise to two semi-discrete schemes where the discretization matrices approximate the first and the second derivative operators, respectively. The discretization matrices depend on free parameters from the SAT treatment. We derive the inverses of the discretization matrices, interpreting them as discrete Green’s functions. In this direct way, we also find out precisely which choices of SAT parameters that make the discretization matrices singular. In the second derivative case, it is shown that if the penalty parameters are chosen such that the semi-discrete scheme is dual consistent, the discretization matrix can become singular even when the scheme is energy stable. The inverse formulas hold for SBP-SAT operators of arbitrary order of accuracy. For second and fourth order accurate operators, the inverses are provided explicitly.
