A linearized energy--conservative finite element method for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with wave operator

Wentao Cai, Dongdong He, Kejia Pan

In this paper, we propose a linearized finite element method (FEM) for solving the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with wave operator. In this method, a modified leap-frog scheme is applied for time discretization and a Galerkin finite element method is applied for spatial discretization. We prove that the proposed method keeps the energy conservation in the given discrete norm. Comparing with non-conservative schemes, our algorithm keeps higher stability. Meanwhile, an optimal error estimate for the proposed scheme is given by an error splitting technique. That is, we split the error into two parts, one from temporal discretization and the other from spatial discretization. First, by introducing a time-discrete system, we prove the uniform boundedness for the solution of this time-discrete system in some strong norms and obtain error estimates in temporal direction. With the help of the preliminary temporal estimates, we then prove the pointwise uniform boundedness of the finite element solution, and obtain the optimal $L^2$-norm error estimates in the sense that the time step size is not related to spatial mesh size. Finally, numerical examples are provided to validate the convergence-order, unconditional stability and energy conservation.

IIMedGPT: Promoting Large Language Model Capabilities of Medical Tasks by Efficient Human Preference Alignment

Yiming Zhang, Zheng Chang, Wentao Cai et al.

Recent researches of large language models(LLM), which is pre-trained on massive general-purpose corpora, have achieved breakthroughs in responding human queries. However, these methods face challenges including limited data insufficiency to support extensive pre-training and can not align responses with users' instructions. To address these issues, we introduce a medical instruction dataset, CMedINS, containing six medical instructions derived from actual medical tasks, which effectively fine-tunes LLM in conjunction with other data. Subsequently, We launch our medical model, IIMedGPT, employing an efficient preference alignment method, Direct preference Optimization(DPO). The results show that our final model outperforms existing medical models in medical dialogue.Datsets, Code and model checkpoints will be released upon acceptance.

Analysis of fully discrete FEM for miscible displacement in porous media with Bear--Scheidegger diffusion tensor

Wentao Cai, Buyang Li, Yanping Lin et al.

Fully discrete Galerkin finite element methods are studied for the equations of miscible displacement in porous media with the commonly-used Bear--Scheidegger diffusion-dispersion tensor: $$ D({\bf u}) = γd_m I + |{\bf u}|\bigg( α_T I + (α_L - α_T) \frac{{\bf u} \otimes {\bf u}}{|{\bf u}|^2}\bigg) \, . $$ Previous works on optimal-order $L^\infty(0,T;L^2)$-norm error estimate required the regularity assumption $\nabla_x\partial_tD({\bf u}(x,t)) \in L^\infty(0,T;L^\infty(Ω))$, while the Bear--Scheidegger diffusion-dispersion tensor is only Lipschitz continuous even for a smooth velocity field ${\bf u}$. In terms of the maximal $L^p$-regularity of fully discrete finite element solutions of parabolic equations, optimal error estimate in $L^p(0,T;L^q)$-norm and almost optimal error estimate in $L^\infty(0,T;L^q)$-norm are established under the assumption of $D({\bf u})$ being Lipschitz continuous with respect to ${\bf u}$.
