Koopman Eigenfunctionals Associated with Floquet Multipliers of Attracting Periodic Orbits in Parabolic Semiflows

This paper constructs scalar Koopman eigenfunctionals for exponentially attracting periodic orbits in semilinear parabolic semiflows by deriving them from dominant Floquet multipliers via a direct Laplace-limit argument on isochron sections, extending them to continuous time, and analyzing their behavior regarding phase-frequency shifts and the topological obstructions caused by negative multipliers.

Sparse observations of semilinear parabolic equations: spatial maxima and threshold times

This paper establishes optimal lower bounds for the first threshold time of semilinear parabolic equations by combining classical extremal extensions of sparse, bounded-error spatial observations with scalar comparison equations, while explicitly linking the required sensor density to the metric NN-center problem and validating the approach through one-dimensional and industrial geometry examples.

Pointwise Monotonicity of the Allen--Cahn Flow and Dynamical Limitations of Energy-Stable Schemes

This paper establishes that pointwise monotonicity, a local dynamical criterion distinct from energy stability, is preserved by the exact Allen-Cahn flow and fully implicit Euler method but often violated by widely used second-order energy-stable schemes, leading to artificial delays or incorrect pointwise increments even in the presence of active diffusion.

Graded L1-2-3 time stepping and adaptive tension splines for two-dimensional time-fractional reaction–diffusion equations

This paper proposes a high-order numerical method for two-dimensional time-fractional reaction–diffusion equations by introducing an adaptive tension spline spatial operator that selects optimal parameters based on local solution modes and a stable L1-2-3 time-stepping scheme on graded meshes, thereby achieving a temporal convergence order of approximately 4α4-\alpha while correcting misconceptions regarding fourth-order accuracy in existing non-polynomial spline literature.
