Abstract
We study the propagation of singularities in solutions of linear convection equations with spatially heterogeneous nonlocal interactions. A spatially varying nonlocal horizon parameter is adopted in the model, which measures the range of nonlocal interactions. Via heterogeneous localization, this can lead to the seamless coupling of the local and nonlocal models. We are interested in understanding the impact on singularity propagation due to the heterogeneities of the nonlocal horizon and the local and nonlocal transition. We first analytically derive equations to characterize the propagation of different types of singularities for various forms of nonlocal horizon parameters in the nonlocal regime. We then use asymptotically compatible schemes to discretize the equations and carry out numerical simulations to illustrate the propagation patterns in different scenarios.
