The paper introduces a novel computational approach called the Reduced Augmentation Implicit Low-rank (RAIL) method to efficiently solve time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) in low-rank format with implicit and implicit-explicit time discretizations.
Özet
The paper proposes the RAIL method, which combines ideas from the dynamical low-rank (DLR) and step-and-truncation (SAT) approaches to efficiently solve time-dependent PDEs in low-rank format. The key features of the RAIL method are:
- It first fully discretizes the PDE in space using spectral methods and in time using diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta (DIRK) or implicit-explicit (IMEX) Runge-Kutta methods.
- It then updates the low-rank factorization of the solution in an implicit fashion by leveraging a reduced augmentation procedure to predict the basis functions for the projection subspaces at each Runge-Kutta stage.
- The reduced augmentation procedure spans the bases from a first-order prediction together with those from all previous Runge-Kutta stages to construct richer bases, and then performs an SVD truncation to optimize efficiency.
- The method is analyzed for first-order accuracy and shown to generalize the augmented BUG integrator. Higher-order extensions are also presented, and the accuracy of the higher-order scheme is demonstrated through numerical experiments.
- The RAIL method is validated through numerical simulations of advection-diffusion problems and a Fokker-Planck model, and it is shown that it can be combined with a conservative projection procedure to obtain a globally mass-conservative scheme.
