    [OS011] High-order methods for complexes
    • Abstract : Complexes of function spaces naturally arise in a wide variety of physical applications, from fluid flow and electromagnetism, to general relativity. Compatible discretizations of these complexes not only preserve the underlying structure of the problem, but also often lead to stable methods. However, constructing compatible discretizations is a nontrivial task, and high order methods are often needed to avoid spurious behaviour or unnatural restrictions on the method, such as the need to use meshes with specific structure. In this minisymposium, we will focus on recent advancements of high order methods for a variety of complexes. Presentations will include the development of new methods, the analysis of new and existing methods, implementation aspects such as efficient algorithms and preconditioning, and applications.

    [OS013] High order methods for gradient flows
    • Abstract : Description: The gradient flow is a powerful method to model various problems. Typical applications include phase field modeling in moving boundary problems appearing in Materials Science and Engineering.
      Its application covers from solidification of pure materials to crystal Modeling. Interfacial dynamics in complex fluids presents tremendous challenges to science. From a fluid mechanical viewpoint,
      the essential physics is the coupling between interfacial movement and the flow of the bulk fluids. Phase field (diffuse-interface) methods
      start from a multi-scale point of view and treat the interface as a microscopic transition zone of small but finite width.
      Then a set of governing equations can be derived that are thermodynamically consistent and mathematically well-posed.
      This principle is very powerful and flexible. It has been applied successfully to describe complicated interfaces
      in various complex fluids. Well designed numerical methods with the diffuse-interface approach can be highly robust and accurate,
      as long as the interface is well resolved. Phase field methods are now widely used in many branches of science and engineering,
      such as the material science, biomedical science, biology, chemical engineering.

      This mini-symposium will bring together numerical analysts and computational scientists working on high order numerical methods for phase field models.
      The main purposes of this mini-symposium are to review the current status,
      identify problems and future directions, and to promote phase field methods to a wider scientific and engineering community.

    [OS016] Space-time Spectral Methods
    • Abstract : Most common spectral methods for time dependent PDEs use low-order finite difference discretizations of the time derivative and spectral discretizations of the spatial derivatives. This is not ideal because of the imbalance in the temporal and spatial discretization errors. Space-time spectral methods apply spectral discretizations in both space and time, resulting in spectral convergence whenever the solution is analytic. Unfortunately time-stepping is no longer possible for space-time spectral methods as all unknowns over all times must be solved simultaneously. New mathematical tools must be developed to analyze the convergence and complexity of space-time spectral methods. Furthermore, new algorithms, including parallel algorithms, are needed to expedite the solution of large systems arising in space-time spectral methods. A particularly important class includes parallel-in-time (PinT) methods.

    [OS017] Towards Practical High-Order Methods for Unsteady High-Fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics
    • Abstract : The use of computational fluid dynamics algorithms has become ubiquitous in science and engineering. While modern and future computational architectures promise unprecedented power to push the boundaries of basic science and engineering design and optimization for problems in fluid dynamics, their efficient utilization is a highly active area of research. Because of their dense compute kernels, high-order methods are a natural choice for unsteady problems requiring tight error tolerances. However, most fluid dynamics problems of interest are nonlinear and occur on complex geometries, and for such problems high-order methods have traditionally suffered from stability issues making them impractical.
      Nevertheless, in the last decade there has been a dedicated push to resolve this issue through the construction of schemes with provable properties (e.g., entropy-stable, positivity preserving etc) as well as a number of sophisticated algorithms to mitigate stability issues. Furthermore, there has been an equally dedicated push to develop technologies to make high-order methods efficient on modern compute systems. In this minisymposium, the focus is on the mathematics that enable the use of high-order methods for practical fluids problems. Topics that are of interest include but are not limited to provably stable schemes, time stepping, stabilization, adaptation, space-time methods, unstructured schemes, and mechanics for the efficient deployment of high-order methods on
      modern and future compute architectures.

    [OS019] Recent Advances in High-Order Discontinuous Finite Element Methods
    • Abstract : Complex multiphysics systems appear in many important real-life applications, such as multiphase flows, computational geosciences, magnetohydrodynamics, fluid-structure interactions, etc. These highly-nonlinear problems describe strongly coupled physical mechanisms that interact on a wide range of length- and time-scales and require robust and efficient high-resolution numerical approximations. For this reason, developing robust, and accurate methods that can effectively use parallel computation at extreme scales is critical. In this context, numerical discretizations and solvers for practical multiphysics simulations must be: (1) High-order accurate in space and time; (2) Stable; (3) Conservative; (4) Having minimum degrees of freedom for implicit solution approaches; (5) Well suited for unstructured meshes; (6) Well suited for hp-adaptivity; (7) Well suited for applications with disparate temporal and spatial scales; and (8) Well suited for fine-grain parallelism.

      This minisymposium focuses on the latest developments in high(er) order discontinuous finite element, and related methods and associated numerical methods. The speakers in this minisymposium will address theoretical/numerical and computational issues critical to developing approaches with these desired properties. Applications will include aerodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, plasma physics, subsurface flows, geophysical flows, etc.

    [OS020] Recent advances of novel high order accurate methods for conservation laws
    • Abstract : Conservation laws equations are fundamental in mathematics and physics, with applications ranging from fluid dynamics to electromagnetism. Despite their importance, the numerical solution of conservation laws can be challenging due to the presence of discontinuities and the need for high accuracy. In recent years, there has been a significant push towards the development of novel high-order accurate methods for the solution of conservation laws. This minisymposia aims to bring together researchers working on the development and analysis of high order accurate methods for conservation laws. The goal of the minisymposia is to present the latest advances in this field and to foster discussions on open problems and future directions.

    [OS021] Computational Methods for Plasmonics and Optics: Diverse Approaches to High Order Methods
    • Abstract : The scattering of electromagnetic waves by irregular obstacles, periodic gratings, and other geometrically complex structures arises in a wide array of scientific and engineering applications. In fact, these models are at the heart of everyday technologies such as seismic imaging, underwater acoustics, and biological sensing. Clearly, there is a compelling need for algorithm design, rigorous analysis, and mathematical model development from applied mathematicians and computational scientists. Despite significant successes along these lines, some very important challenges remain. While low-order numerical methods play a significant role in the simulation of these devices, High Order approaches are becoming increasingly important to theoreticians and practitioners. Interestingly, many paths have been taken to achieve high accuracy in this setting including Spectral, Integral Equation, Spectral Element, hp Continuous and Discontinuous Galerkin, and High-Order Perturbation of Surfaces methods. Very recently, machine learning and deep learning have been further extended to complex electromagnetic problems, such as structural design and optimal parameter extraction, and data interpretation for radar. The main purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts in all of these approaches with the goal of not only communicating the state-of-the-art in these fields but also identifying areas of future collaboration.

    [OS023] Recent Advances in Non-Traditional Spectral Methods
    • Abstract : Spectral methods have achieved great success over the past four decades in traditional numerical PDE fields with smooth solutions such as fluid mechanics. In recent years, more and more efforts have been paid to spectral methods for various integral equations, fractional differential equations, nonlocal model equations, and PDE/IE eigenvalue problems; Diverse non-traditional spectral methods have been proposed for more challenging problems with either high-dimensionality, unbounded domain, strong/full nonlinearity, strong singularity, high oscillation. With a great variety of non-polynomial basis functions and approximation schemes coming into existence, the adaptability and application range of non-traditional spectral methods have been continuously expanded, and the superiority of the non-traditional spectral methods in both accuracy and efficiency over other numerical methods has been verified.

      The aim of this mini-symposium is to bring together scholars in related research fields to share their recent advances in non-traditional spectral methods, and to discuss the common basic issues of non-traditional spectral methods for challenge problems.

    [OS024] High-order methods for wave propagation problems
    • Abstract : The numerical solution of wave propagation problems remains relevant and challenging in many application fields. Because of the oscillatory nature of the solutions, accurate numerical simulations require expensive computational procedures, and innovative strategies are required to ensure the accuracy, the efficiency and the robustness of both new and existing numerical methods. This minisymposium focuses on the design and the analysis of high-order methods specifically developed for solving wave propagation problems. Topics of interest encompass methods dealing with time-harmonic or time-dependent problems, scalar or vector waves, homogeneous or heterogeneous media, and accurate interface or boundary conditions.

    [OS025] High Order Methods for PDEs with Singular or Oscillatory Solutions
    • Abstract : It is known that the accuracy and performance of a usual spectral method might be deleteriously degraded when the solution exhibits local singular behaviours with very limited regularity. In practice, the singularity may occur in various scenarios such as PDEs in non-smooth computational domains with sharp corners or with degenerate or discontinuous coefficients, non-matching boundary conditions, singular kernels or potentials, and non-differentiable nonlinear terms among others.

      On the other hand, high-order methods have proven to be the method of choice for PDEs with oscillatory solutions with wide applications in simulations of water waves in ocean dynamics, matter waves in quantum physics and soliton waves in optical fibers among others. Many of them can be described by PDEs such as nonlinear Scrodinger equation, Klein-Gordon equation, Korteweg–de Vries equation and Maxwell equation.

      Efficient and accurate numerical simulations for such PDEs are highly demanding in scientific and engineering computations. Spectral methods are capable of producing very accurate simulation results, and more importantly, they require a substantially smaller number of unknowns (even for engineering accuracy) when compared to their lower-order counterparts. Given these two classes of challenging problems, how to properly design spectral methods and conduct the related numerical analysis is a research topic of longstanding interest and worthy of deep investigation.

      This mini-symposium aims at bringing together numerical analysts and computational scientists to present their findings on recent
      advances in algorithm development and analysis of spectral methods for singular and/or oscillatory problems. The theme is to present some novel developments of spectral method and applications of spectral methods in solving these PDEs.

    • Abstract : High-order methods are attractive for numerical solution of partial differential equations because they enable accurate discretization of curvilinear surfaces in the domain of interest at a lower computational cost in comparison to low-order meshes. However, the generation of high-order meshes continues to present a significant challenge and often becomes a bottleneck for complex configurations. Additionally, problems featuring transient geometry and/or solution add another layer of complexity when no single mesh is sufficient to obtain an accurate solution at a reasonable computational cost. For these problems, high-order mesh adaptation techniques can help circumvent having to generate many meshes using $h-$, $r-$, and $p-$adaptivity.

      This minisympoium will provide a forum to discuss recent advances to the state-of-the-art for high-order mesh generation and adaptation. We propose a single-session minisympoium of 4 speakers, in which we will bring together leading experts from academia and industry. The proposed talks include topics of significant interest in challenging problem areas, including generation of meshes for industrialisation of high-order methods, mesh curving and techniques that can be used to enable adaptive simulations.

      Note: at the time of writing we are still to confirm a final talk for the
      session, but anticipate that 4 talks would be presented in this MS.

    [OS030] High Accuracy Methods for Complex Systems
    • Abstract : Complex systems problems are intrinsically difficult to solve due to their wide range of scales, complicated component relationships and distinct properties arising from these relationships, such as nonlinearity and discontinuity. For these problems, a prediction method must have enough resolution to capture all active variations while maintaining the robustness and efficacy of the method. Furthermore, in incorporating such methods for inference problems, judicious treatment of data is crucial to achieving high accuracy due to the relatively small size of measurement data compared to the high dimension of the complex systems. This mini-symposium will bring together researchers working on high-order prediction methods and high-accuracy data analysis methods for complex systems, which aims to foster collaborations between the groups to investigate the high-order methods in the context of high-accuracy inference problems.

    [OS031] RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN POLYTOPAL DISCRETIZATION METHODS
    • Abstract : Polytopal discretization methods for the approximate solution of partial differential equations developed rapidly over the last decade. In this mini-symposium, we aim to gather researchers interested in some specific features of such methods: the construction of structure-preserving schemes for the approximate solution of partial differential equations and the analysis and design of adaptive algorithms as well as efficient solvers.

      On the one hand, adaptivity in polytopal methods automatically allows for hanging nodes and nonmatching interfaces, whereas agglomeration can be successfully exploited in designing efficient solvers. On the other hand, using polytopal elements simplifies the meshing when dealing with multiphysics and multiscale problems in complicated data. This mini-symposium aims to bring together leading researchers that have contributed to these different aspects of the development and application of polytopal methods and promote exchanges between them

    [OS032] Recent developments in physical-property-preserving WENO schemes and DG methods for hyperbolic single- and multi-medium models
    • Abstract : The weighted essentially-oscillatory (WENO) schemes and discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods are very robust and stable for solving nonlinear hyperbolic problems containing strong shocks and maintaining high-order accuracy in smooth regions. They have become a very popular class of numerical methods for solving problems with discontinuities or sharp gradient regions and complex, smooth region structures.

      In this mini-symposium, we gather together researchers in the areas of high-order WENO schemes and DG methods for solving hyperbolic models. The mini-symposium will present recent progress in physical-property-preserving WENO methods and DG methods, including the well-balanced methods for hyperbolic balance laws, the bound-preserving methods for hyperbolic conservation laws, the equilibrium-preserving methods for hyperbolic multi-medium models, and so on. The speakers in this mini-symposium will describe their recent research, including algorithm formulation, analysis, and applications.

      The proposed mini-symposium will gain significant attention since it will provide a valuable opportunity for researchers from different areas to investigate the idea of physical-property-preserving methods. This mini-symposium will offer an excellent opportunity for participants to meet and exchange ideas and discuss new challenges facing our community in computational mathematics and scientific computing.

    [OS033] High-order CFD Methods and Software for High-performance Computing
    • Abstract : High-order methods have great potential for efficiently resolving the multi-scale flow physics of complex engineering applications under strict accuracy requirements. However, the widespread uptake of high-order methods by the industry is being delayed due to several unresolved issues, such as stable methods for aliasing and shock-driven instabilities, flexible methods to handle complex unstructured meshes, scalable memory-efficient preconditioners, and high-performance compute kernel embracing modern computing devices. From this perspective, this mini-symposium aims to discuss recent advances in high-order CFD methods and software development for high-performance computing. The focus is on the mathematical and computational efforts to boost the levels of accuracy and efficiency of high-order methods. Topics include, but are not limited to, spatial discretization methods, time-stepping methods, shock-capturing methods, moving and overset meshes, hp-adaptation, multi-physics, and software development to conduct high-performance multi-scale computing for practical engineering applications. The mini-symposium will bring together researchers working on both fundamental and applied aspects of CFD to provide a forum for discussion, interaction, and assessment of recent advances.

    [OS034] Scientific machine learning for the data-driven discovery of dynamical systems
    • Abstract : Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) has emerged as an active research field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The goal is to tackle challenging scientific and engineering problems on which traditional approaches are either ineffective or even not applicable. While advanced AI techniques provide new perspectives and computational tools for scientific computing, care must be taken as they are not entirely reliable and often unstable for various unknown reasons.
      For predictive computational solutions, the AI approaches need to be revised or even newly re-developed from perspectives of applied and computational mathematics. This mini-symposium focuses on the recent progress of SciML for the data-driven discovery of dynamical systems and addresses some of the urgent challenges therein. The topics include but are not limited to, mathematical analysis (e.g. convergence, error estimates), optimization of neural networks (NNs), modeling of interactions via graph neural networks, structure-preserving NNs, and identification of dynamics from noisy data.

    [OS035] Tensor networks and compositional functions for high-dimensional approximation
    • Abstract : While high-dimensional functions are ubiquitous in modern science and engineering, their approximation remains a challenging task often plagued by the curse of dimensionality. To break this curse, modern tools increasingly rely on compositional representations such as feed-forward neural networks and tree tensor networks. Due to the high-dimensional nature of these models, their training is complex, and their quality depends heavily on the choice of the sample in the empirical risk minimisation. Obtaining provable error bounds and efficient, practical algorithms is currently the subject of active research and often relies on the regularity of the solution in the form of a known hierarchical decomposition, anisotropic or compositional sparsity. This mini-symposium aims at gathering experts to present recent advances in approximation and learning of high-dimensional functions.

    [OS036] High-Order Algorithms, Software and Applications for Exascale
    • Abstract : This minisympoisum focuses on discussing high-order discretization kernels and lightweight portable libraries to achieve optimal performance of solvers on exascale hardware. Topics will include efficient next-generation discretizations of arbitrarily high order also on complicated geometries, the interplay between algorithm specialization for specific applications versus generality, algorithm and software development including their impact on the design of exascale architectures, as well as system and application software for improved portability and performance of high-order methods.

      High-order discretizations have the potential to provide an optimal strategy for achieving high performance and delivering fast, efficient, and accurate simulations on next-generation architectures. This minisymposium will discuss next-generation high-order discretization algorithms, based on finite/spectral element approaches that will enable a wide range of important scientific applications to run efficiently on current and evolving computer architecture.
