High-order accurate entropy stable finite difference schemes for one- and two-dimensional special relativistic hydrodynamics

This paper develops the high-order accurate entropy stable finite difference schemes for one- and two-dimensional special relativistic hydrodynamic equations. The schemes are built on the entropy conservative flux and the weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) technique as well as explicit Runge-Kutta time discretization. The key is to technically construct the affordable entropy conservative flux of the semi-discrete second-order accurate entropy conservative schemes satisfying the semi-discrete entropy equality for the found convex entropy pair. As soon as the entropy conservative flux is derived, the dissipation term can be added to give the semi-discrete entropy stable schemes satisfying the semi-discrete entropy inequality with the given convex entropy function. The WENO reconstruction for the scaled entropy variables and the high-order explicit Runge-Kutta time discretization are implemented to obtain the fully-discrete high-order schemes. Several numerical tests are conducted to validate the accuracy and the ability to capture discontinuities of our entropy stable schemes.Comment: 26 pages, 14 figure

Convex-constrained Sparse Additive Modeling and Its Extensions

Sparse additive modeling is a class of effective methods for performing high-dimensional nonparametric regression. In this work we show how shape constraints such as convexity/concavity and their extensions, can be integrated into additive models. The proposed sparse difference of convex additive models (SDCAM) can estimate most continuous functions without any a priori smoothness assumption. Motivated by a characterization of difference of convex functions, our method incorporates a natural regularization functional to avoid overfitting and to reduce model complexity. Computationally, we develop an efficient backfitting algorithm with linear per-iteration complexity. Experiments on both synthetic and real data verify that our method is competitive against state-of-the-art sparse additive models, with improved performance in most scenarios.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figure

The rate of increase of mean values of functions in weighted Hardy spaces

Let $0<p<\infty$ and $0\leq q<\infty$. For each $f$ in the weighted Hardy space $H_{p, q}$,\ we show that $d\|f_r\|_{p,q}^p/dr$ grows at most like $o(1/1- r)$ as $r\rightarrow 1$.Comment: 5 pages, accepted for publication in Acta Mathematica Vietnamic

Norm-attaining integral operators on analytic function spaces

Any bounded analytic function $g$ induces a bounded integral operator $S_g$ on the Bloch space, the Dirichlet space and $BMOA$ respectively. $S_g$ attains its norm on the Bloch space and $BMOA$ for any $g$, but does not attain its norm on the Dirichlet space for non-constant $g$. Some results are also obtained for $S_g$ on the little Bloch space, and for another integral operator $T_g$ from the Dirichlet space to the Bergman space.Comment: 9 page

Analytic version of critical QQ spaces and their properties

In this paper, we establish an analytic version of critical spaces $Q_{\alpha}^{\beta}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ on unit disc $\mathbb{D}$, denoted by $Q^{\beta}_{p}(\mathbb{D})$. Further we prove a relation between $Q^{\beta}_{p}(\mathbb{D})$ and Morrey spaces. By the boundedness of two integral operators, we give the multiplier spaces of $Q^{\beta}_{p}(\mathbb{D})$

Strict singularity of Volterra type operators on Hardy spaces

In this paper, we first characterize the boundedness and compactness of Volterra type operator $S_gf(z) = \int_0^z f'(\zeta)g(\zeta)d\zeta, \ z \in \mathbb{D},$ defined on Hardy spaces $H^p, \, 0< p <\infty$. The spectrum of $S_g$ is also obtained. Then we prove that $S_g$ fixes an isomorphic copy of $\ell^p$ and an isomorphic copy of $\ell^2$ if the operator $S_g$ is not compact on $H^p (1\leq p<\infty)$. In particular, this implies that the strict singularity of the operator $S_g$ coincides with the compactness of the operator $S_g$ on $H^p$. At last, we post an open question for further study.Comment: 9 page

Embedding theorem for Dirichlet type spaces

Using Carleson measure theorem of weighted Bergman spaces, we provide a complete characterization of embedding theorem for Dirichlet type spaces. As an application, we study the Volterra integral operator and multipliers for Dirichlet type spaces

Strict singularity of weighted composition operators on derivative Hardy spaces

We prove that the weighted composition operator $W_{\phi,\varphi}$ fixes an isomorphic copy of $\ell^p$ if the operator $W_{\phi,\varphi}$ is not compact on the derivative Hardy space $S^p$. In particular, this implies that the strict singularity of the operator $W_{\phi,\varphi}$ coincides with the compactness of it on $S^p$. Moreover, when $p\neq2$, we characterize the conditions for those weighted composition operators $W_{\phi,\varphi}$ on $S^p$ which fix an isomorphic copy of $\ell^2$ .Comment: 9 page

Group Sparse Additive Models

We consider the problem of sparse variable selection in nonparametric additive models, with the prior knowledge of the structure among the covariates to encourage those variables within a group to be selected jointly. Previous works either study the group sparsity in the parametric setting (e.g., group lasso), or address the problem in the non-parametric setting without exploiting the structural information (e.g., sparse additive models). In this paper, we present a new method, called group sparse additive models (GroupSpAM), which can handle group sparsity in additive models. We generalize the l1/l2 norm to Hilbert spaces as the sparsity-inducing penalty in GroupSpAM. Moreover, we derive a novel thresholding condition for identifying the functional sparsity at the group level, and propose an efficient block coordinate descent algorithm for constructing the estimate. We demonstrate by simulation that GroupSpAM substantially outperforms the competing methods in terms of support recovery and prediction accuracy in additive models, and also conduct a comparative experiment on a real breast cancer dataset.Comment: ICML201
