Toric Border Bases
We extend the theory and the algorithms of Border Bases to systems of Laurent
polynomial equations, defining "toric" roots. Instead of introducing new
variables and new relations to saturate by the variable inverses, we propose a
more efficient approach which works directly with the variables and their
inverse. We show that the commutation relations and the inversion relations
characterize toric border bases. We explicitly describe the first syzygy module
associated to a toric border basis in terms of these relations. Finally, a new
border basis algorithm for Laurent polynomials is described and a proof of its
termination is given for zero-dimensional toric ideals
GPU-accelerated discontinuous Galerkin methods on hybrid meshes
We present a time-explicit discontinuous Galerkin (DG) solver for the
time-domain acoustic wave equation on hybrid meshes containing vertex-mapped
hexahedral, wedge, pyramidal and tetrahedral elements. Discretely energy-stable
formulations are presented for both Gauss-Legendre and Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto
(Spectral Element) nodal bases for the hexahedron. Stable timestep restrictions
for hybrid meshes are derived by bounding the spectral radius of the DG
operator using order-dependent constants in trace and Markov inequalities.
Computational efficiency is achieved under a combination of element-specific
kernels (including new quadrature-free operators for the pyramid), multi-rate
timestepping, and acceleration using Graphics Processing Units.Comment: Submitted to CMAM
Black Hole Scattering from Monodromy
We study scattering coefficients in black hole spacetimes using analytic
properties of complexified wave equations. For a concrete example, we analyze
the singularities of the Teukolsky equation and relate the corresponding
monodromies to scattering data. These techniques, valid in full generality,
provide insights into complex-analytic properties of greybody factors and
quasinormal modes. This leads to new perturbative and numerical methods which
are in good agreement with previous results.Comment: 28 pages + appendices, 2 figures. For Mathematica calculation of
