Abstract

En 中文
The numerical solution of kinetic equations is challenging due to the high dimensionality of the underlying phase space. In this paper, we develop a dynamical low-rank method based on the projector-splitting integrator in tensor-train (TT) format. The key idea is to discretize the threedimensional velocity variable using tensor trains while treating the spatial variable as a parameter, thereby exploiting the low-rank structure of the distribution function in velocity space. In contrast to the standard step-and-truncate approach, this method updates the tensor cores through a sweeping procedure, allowing the use of relatively small TT-ranks and leading to substantial reductions in memory usage and computational cost. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach on several representative kinetic equations.
