Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The value of applied numerical analysis and the power of computational modelling of real-life phenomena cannot be understated. Their applications range from computer, physical, life, and social sciences to engineering and emerging technologies. Further research in advancing applied and computational mathematics is indispensable for resolving real-life, engineering, technological, and scientific problems.

This Special Issue is dedicated to illustrating the numerical analysis and development of novel computational techniques as well as algorithms advancing diverse applications of mathematical modelling, theoretical physics, dynamical systems, differential and integral equations, optimization methods, structure-preserving methods, learning algorithms, and data-driven methods, but is not limited to these research fields. With this Special Issue, we aim to either appraise the improvements of existing computational methods or demonstrate new algorithmic and computational methodologies, including learning and data-driven methods. For this Special Issue, theoretical and applied contributions with extensive numerical studies for different applications are welcome. Contributions demonstrating the improved analytical results and computational efficiency of already-existing or new algorithms, as well as the discovery of new phenomena driven by the development of numerical algorithms, are of particular interest.

Designing structure-preserving numerical schemes for the generalized Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) system is challenging due to its inherent strong nonlinearity and coupling. In this paper, we propose a class of efficient, unconditional energy-stable schemes based on the Stabilized Scalar Auxiliary Variable (S-SAV) framework combined with the finite element method. We construct both first-order (BE-S-SAV) and second-order (BDF2-S-SAV) fully discrete schemes. A distinguishing feature of our approach is the use of a linear decomposition strategy, which decouples the complex nonlinear system into a sequence of linear, constant-coefficient elliptic equations at each time step. This significantly reduces computational complexity by avoiding expensive nonlinear iterations. We provide rigorous theoretical proofs demonstrating that the proposed schemes are unconditionally energy stable and strictly preserve mass conservation. Numerical experiments satisfy the theoretical analysis, confirming optimal convergence rates and demonstrating robust preservation of mass conservation and modified energy stability in the tested regimes.

In this paper, we develop the extended proximal gradient algorithm with Nesterov’s second acceleration (EAPGs) for constrained difference-of-convex (DC) optimization problems. EAPGs has two key links to existing methods: it extends APGs (for unconstrained DC problems) by adopting the constraint handling idea from Auslender’s ESQM, and serves as a variant of ESQMe with extrapolation replaced by Nesterov’s second acceleration. Under basic assumptions, we establish the subsequential convergence of EAPGs. By introducing a restart technique and leveraging the Kurdyka–Łojasiewicz (KL) property of a suitable potential function, we further prove its global convergence, analyze its convergence rate, and do so under weaker conditions than those for APGs. Additionally, we propose EAPGsr by adding practical restart criteria to EAPGs. Numerical experiments verify the criteria’s efficiency and show that EAPGsr performs well against state-of-the-art methods for constrained and unconstrained DC problems. Full article
