Semi-regular Dubuc-Deslauriers wavelet tight frames

In this paper, we construct wavelet tight frames with n vanishing moments for Dubuc-Deslauriers 2npoint semi-regular interpolatory subdivision schemes. Our motivation for this construction is its practical use for further regularity analysis of wide classes of semi-regular subdivision. Our constructive tools are local eigenvalue convergence analysis for semi-regular Dubuc-Deslauriers subdivision, the Unitary Extension Principle and the generalization of the Oblique Extension Principle to the irregular setting by Chui, He and St\"ockler. This group of authors derives suitable approximation of the inverse Gramian for irregular Bspline subdivision. Our main contribution is the derivation of the appropriate approximation of the inverse Gramian for the semi-regular Dubuc-Deslauriers scaling functions ensuring n vanishing moments of the corresponding framelets

A "metric" semi-Lagrangian Vlasov-Poisson solver

We propose a new semi-Lagrangian Vlasov-Poisson solver. It employs elements of metric to follow locally the flow and its deformation, allowing one to find quickly and accurately the initial phase-space position $Q(P)$ of any test particle $P$, by expanding at second order the geometry of the motion in the vicinity of the closest element. It is thus possible to reconstruct accurately the phase-space distribution function at any time $t$ and position $P$ by proper interpolation of initial conditions, following Liouville theorem. When distorsion of the elements of metric becomes too large, it is necessary to create new initial conditions along with isotropic elements and repeat the procedure again until next resampling. To speed up the process, interpolation of the phase-space distribution is performed at second order during the transport phase, while third order splines are used at the moments of remapping. We also show how to compute accurately the region of influence of each element of metric with the proper percolation scheme. The algorithm is tested here in the framework of one-dimensional gravitational dynamics but is implemented in such a way that it can be extended easily to four or six-dimensional phase-space. It can also be trivially generalised to plasmas.Comment: 32 pages, 14 figures, accepted for publication in Journal of Plasma Physics, Special issue: The Vlasov equation, from space to laboratory plasma
