Space-time FLAVORS: finite difference, multisymlectic, and pseudospectral integrators for multiscale PDEs
We present a new class of integrators for stiff PDEs. These integrators are
generalizations of FLow AVeraging integratORS (FLAVORS) for stiff ODEs and SDEs
introduced in [Tao, Owhadi and Marsden 2010] with the following properties: (i)
Multiscale: they are based on flow averaging and have a computational cost
determined by mesoscopic steps in space and time instead of microscopic steps
in space and time; (ii) Versatile: the method is based on averaging the flows
of the given PDEs (which may have hidden slow and fast processes). This
bypasses the need for identifying explicitly (or numerically) the slow
variables or reduced effective PDEs; (iii) Nonintrusive: A pre-existing
numerical scheme resolving the microscopic time scale can be used as a black
box and easily turned into one of the integrators in this paper by turning the
large coefficients on over a microscopic timescale and off during a mesoscopic
timescale; (iv) Convergent over two scales: strongly over slow processes and in
the sense of measures over fast ones; (v) Structure-preserving: for stiff
Hamiltonian PDEs (possibly on manifolds), they can be made to be
multi-symplectic, symmetry-preserving (symmetries are group actions that leave
the system invariant) in all variables and variational
Multi-symplectic discretisation of wave map equations
We present a new multi-symplectic formulation of constrained Hamiltonian
partial differential equations, and we study the associated local conservation
laws. A multi-symplectic discretisation based on this new formulation is
exemplified by means of the Euler box scheme. When applied to the wave map
equation, this numerical scheme is explicit, preserves the constraint and can
be seen as a generalisation of the Shake algorithm for constrained mechanical
systems. Furthermore, numerical experiments show excellent conservation
properties of the numerical solutions
On the multi-symplectic structure of the Serre-Green-Naghdi equations
In this short note, we present a multi-symplectic structure of the
Serre-Green-Naghdi (SGN) equations modelling nonlinear long surface waves in
shallow water. This multi-symplectic structure allow the use of efficient
finite difference or pseudo-spectral numerical schemes preserving exactly the
multi-symplectic form at the discrete level.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure, 30 references. Other author's papers can be

New variational and multisymplectic formulations of the Euler-Poincar\'e equation on the Virasoro-Bott group using the inverse map
We derive a new variational principle, leading to a new momentum map and a
new multisymplectic formulation for a family of Euler--Poincar\'e equations
defined on the Virasoro-Bott group, by using the inverse map (also called
`back-to-labels' map). This family contains as special cases the well-known
Korteweg-de Vries, Camassa-Holm, and Hunter-Saxton soliton equations. In the
conclusion section, we sketch opportunities for future work that would apply
the new Clebsch momentum map with -cocycles derived here to investigate a
new type of interplay among nonlinearity, dispersion and noise.Comment: 19 page
