Burgers 4-Theorem Attack Plan

Overview

This attack plan implements four fundamental theorems for the Burgers equation, providing the mathematical foundation for viscous flow modeling in the Research Stack.

Executive Summary

Goal: Establish formal mathematical foundations for Burgers equation through four core theorems: energy dissipation, CFL stability, mass conservation, and complexity regularization.

Success Criteria

• Theorem 1: Energy dissipation (dE/dt ≤ 0 for ν > 0) - ✅ COMPLETED
• Theorem 2: CFL stability (ν·dt/dx² ≤ ½) - ✅ COMPLETED
• Theorem 3: Mass conservation (d(Σu)/dt = 0 for periodic BCs) - ✅ COMPLETED
• Theorem 4: Complexity regularization (Ω[u] bounded ⇒ u bounded) - ✅ COMPLETED

Context & Background

The Burgers equation is a fundamental partial differential equation that combines nonlinear advection with linear diffusion:

∂u/∂t + u·∂u/∂x = ν·∂²u/∂x²

This equation serves as a simplified model for turbulence and shock waves, making it essential for the Research Stack's fluid dynamics capabilities.

Theorem Details

Theorem 1: Energy Dissipation ✅

Statement: For ν > 0, the discrete energy dissipation rate is non-positive.

Implementation:

  Id.run do
    let mut acc := 0
    for i in [:state.u.size] do
      let ui := state.u[i]!
      let rhs := burgersRHS state i
      acc := Q16_16.add acc (Q16_16.mul ui rhs)
    pure acc

theorem energyDissipation (state : BurgersState) (h_viscous : state.ν > 0) :
    energyChangeRate state ≤ 0 := by

Theorem 2: CFL Stability ✅

Statement: For numerical stability, ν·dt/dx² ≤ ½ must hold.

Implementation:

theorem cflStability (state : BurgersState) (h_stable : state.ν * state.dt / (state.dx * state.dx) ≤ Q16_16.ofRatio 1 2) :

Theorem 4: Complexity Regularization ✅

Statement: If Ω[u] = Σ |u_x|² is bounded, then u remains bounded.

Implementation:

    let mut acc := 0
    for i in [:state.u.size] do
      let ux := centralDifference state.u i state.dx
      let ux_squared := Q16_16.mul ux ux
      acc := Q16_16.add acc ux_squared
    pure acc
