© The Author(s) 2022.Inverse Langevin function has an extensive use in statistical mechanics, polymer chemistry, and physics. Main struggle is that the inverse Langevin function cannot be expressed in an exact analytical form. To this end, many approaches to estimate the inverse Langevin function have been proposed. A trade-off can be observed between level of accuracy and mathematical complexity in the existing approximants in the literature. In the present contribution, a simple, yet efficient one-pass predictor-corrector algorithm is proposed for the accurate prediction of the inverse Langevin function. The predictor step uses the approximants yp(x) proposed in the literature. The corrector term is based on a single iteration applied to the error function (Formula presented.) (yp) – x. The correction term is based on the yp and has the same form irrespective of the specific approximant used in the predictor step. Hence, the additional computational cost is constant irrespective of the approximant used as predictor. In order to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the approach, maximum relative error and the computational cost before and after corrector step are analysed for eight different approximants. The proposed one-pass predictor-corrector approach allows the use of relatively simpler approximants of the inverse Langevin function by improving their accuracy by at least an order of magnitude.

Efficient exascale discretizations: High-order finite element methods
Kolev, Tzanio; et. al. (2021-01-01)
© The Author(s) 2021.Efficient exploitation of exascale architectures requires rethinking of the numerical algorithms used in many large-scale applications. These architectures favor algorithms that expose ultra fine-grain parallelism and maximize the ratio of floating point operations to energy intensive data movement. One of the few viable approaches to achieve high efficiency in the area of PDE discretizations on unstructured grids is to use matrix-free/partially assembled high-order finite element metho...

A Minimal Maslov Number Condition for Displaceability in Certain Weakly Exact Symplectic Manifolds
Şirikçi, Nil İpek (2022-08-01)
© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.We present a proof of a result which gives an upper bound for the minimal Maslov number of a displaceable n-dimensional Lagrangian submanifold in a weakly exact symplectic manifold with minimal Chern number at least n. The proof utilizes a result on the Conley-Zehnder index of a periodic orbit of the flow of a specifically constructed Floer Hamiltonian and an index relation.
