Opérateur divergence et inégalités de Poincaré dans un domaine arbitraire

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
On donne une condition géométrique nécessaire et suffisante sur un domaine borné arbitraire pour que l'opérateur divergence possède un inverse à droite continu dans des espaces de Lebesgue et de Sobolev à poids. On relie aussi cette question à des inégalités de Poincaré. On retrouve en particulier des résultats connus lorsque le domaine est lipschitzien ou plus généralement est un domaine de John.

Méthodes multi-niveaux sur grilles décalées. Application à la simulation numérique d'écoulements autour d'obstacles

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
La simulation numérique des écoulements turbulents est délicate. En effet, lorsque le pas d'espace du maillage est plus grand que l'échelle dissipative, le maillage ne permet pas la représentation des plus petites échelles de l'écoulement réel. L'énergie transférée depuis les grandes échelles vers les petites échelles, par l'action des termes d'interaction non linéaires, n'est pas dissipée correctement. On constate alors une augmentation anormale de l'énergie au niveau des échelles qui correspondent à la taille de la maille de calcul. En conséquence, la réalisation d'une simulation numérique directe (résolution de toutes les échelles physiques sans modélisation de la turbulence) pour des écoulements caractérisés par un nombre de Reynolds élevé est très coûteuse en ressources informatiques. Plusieurs méthodes ont été développées pour permettre la simulation numérique de tels écoulements. La méthode multi-niveaux que nous proposons consiste à appliquer un traitement spécifique à chaque échelle, en considérant les propriétés physiques de l'écoulement. La décomposition des échelles du champ de vitesse est utilisée pour imposer une décroissance correcte du spectre d'énergie. La dynamique des grandes échelles est améliorée par le contrôle de l'accumulation de l'énergie sur les modes élevés.

Control problems in the coefficients with a nonlinear cost in the gradient

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
We consider a control problem in the coefficients for an elliptic linear equation where the cost functional is non-linear in the gradient of the function state. The control variables are the coefficients of the diffusion matrix. This type of problems arises in Optimal Design of Composite Materials. It is well known that they have not a solution in general. Here we use the homogenization method to obtain a relaxed formulation.

Some numerical results for control problems in the coefficients.

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
We present some numerical methods to solve control problems in the coefficients where the cost functional may depend on the gradient of the state non linearly. The main difficulty comes from the fact that the relaxed functional cost is not explicitly known. We prove some convergence results just using an upper or a lower approximation of this relaxed functional.

Existence et unicité d'une mesure invariante pour les EDP stochastiques

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
Dans le cas des EDP stochastique, les solutions sont définies sur un espace de dimension infinie et les techniques utilisées pour des équations stochastiques ordinaires - fonction de Lyapunov, hypoellipticité, compacité du semi groupe de transition etc.- ne peuvent pas être appliquées ou nécessitent d'être adaptées. Dans cet exposé j'illustrerai des méthodes utilisées pour l'étude des mesures invariantes pour les EDP stochastiques et leurs applications à des cas spécifiques: dynamique de populations, équation de Burgers, équations de Navier-Stokes etc.

The optimal compliance problem in thinning domains

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
We consider the variational problem which consists in minimizing the compliance of a prescribed amount of elastic material, placed into a given design region, and sumbitted to an exterior balanced load. We discuss the asymptotic analysis of this problem when the design region is either a cylinder of infinitesimal height (case of thin plates) or a cylinder of infinitesimal cross section (case of thin rods). The results are contained in some recent papers in collaboration with Guy Bouchitte' and Pierre Seppecher.

Serrin Type Criterion for the Three-Dimensional Compressible Flows with vaccum

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
We extend the well-known Serrin's blowup criterion for the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to the 3D compressible Navier-Stokes equations with vacuum. In other words, in addition to Serrin's condition on the velocity, the L^1(0,T;L^{infty}) norm of the divergence of the velocity is also needed to control the possible breakdown of strong (or smooth) solutions for the three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Moreover, under some additional constraint on the viscosity coefficients, either the L^1(0,T;L^{infty}) norm of the divergence of the velocity or the upper bound of the density will be enough to guarantee the global existence of classical (or strong) solutions.``

ADER high-order schemes for evolutionary PDEs

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
The ADER approach (Toro et al. 2001 and many others) allows the construction of non-linear one step fully discrete numerical schemes of arbitrary order of accuracy in space and time, for solving evolutionary partial differential equations. The ADER approach operates in the frameworks of finite volume and DG finite element methods and is applicable to multidimensional problems on unstructured meshes. The schemes have two basic ingredients: (a) a non-linear spatial reconstruction operator and (b) the solution of a generalized (or high-order) Riemann problem that links spatial data distribution and time evolution. After describing the main ideas of the methodology I will also show some applications involving hyperbolic and parabolic equations.

Parcimonie, problèmes inverses et échantillonnage compressé

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
Compressed sensing (CS) is a new strategy to sample complicated data such as audio signals or natural images. Instead of performing a pointwise evaluation using localized sensors, signals are projected on a small number of delocalized random vectors. This talk is intended to give an overview of this emerging technology. It will cover both theoritical guarantees and practical applications in image processing and numerical analysis. The initial theory of CS was jointly developed by Donoho [1] and Candès, Romberg and Tao [2]. It makes use of the sparsity of signals to minimize the number of random measurements. Natural images are for instance well approximated using a few number of wavelets, and this sparsity is at the heart of the non-linear reconstruction process. I will discuss the extend to which the current theory captures the practical success of CS. I will pay a particular attention to the worse case analysis of the recovery, and perform a non-asymptotic evaluation of the performances [3]. To obtain better recovery guarantees, I propose a probabilistic analysis of the recovery of the sparsity support of the signal, which leads to constants that are explicit and small [4]. CS ideas have the potential to revolutionize other fields beyond signal processing. In particular, the resolution of large scale problems in numerical analysis could beneficiate from random projections. This performs a dimensionality reduction while simplifying the structure of the problem if the projection is well designed. As a proof of concept, I will present a new compressive wave equation solver, that use projections on random Laplacian eigenvectors [5]. [1] D. Donoho, Compressed sensing, IEEE Trans. Info.

Zero dissipation limit to rarefaction wave with vacuum for 1-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
It is well-known that one-dimensional isentropic gas dynamics has two elementary waves, i.e., shock wave and rarefaction wave. Among the two waves, only the rarefaction wave can be connected with vacuum. Given a rarefaction wave with one-side vacuum state to the compressible Euler equations, we can construct a sequence of solutions to one-dimensional compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations which converge to the above rarefaction wave with vacuum as the viscosity tends to zero. Moreover, the uniform convergence rate is obtained. The proof consists of a scaling argument and elementary energy analysis, based on the underlying rarefaction wave structures.

A Multi-Fluid Compressible System as the Limit of Weak-Solutions of the Isentropic Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
This talk mainly concerns the mathematical justification of a viscous compressible multi-fluid model linked to the Baer-Nunziato model used by engineers, see for instance [M., Eyrolles (1975)]. More precisely, we show that some built approximate finite-energy weak solutions of the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations converge, on a short time interval, to the strong solution of this viscous compressible multi-fluid model provided the initial density sequence is uniformly bounded with a corrresponding Young measure which is a linear convex combination of m Dirac measures.

Blowup Criterion for the Compressible Flows with Vacuum States

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
We prove that the maximum norm of the deformation tensor of velocity gradients controls the possible breakdown of smooth(strong) solutions for the 3-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations, which will happen, for example, if the initial density is compactly supported cite{X1}. More precisely, if a solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations is initially regular and loses its regularity at some later time, then the loss of regularity implies the growth without bound of the deformation tensor as the critical time approaches. Our result is the same as Ponce's criterion for 3-dimensional incompressible Euler equations (cite{po}). Moreover, our method can be generalized to the full Compressible Navier-Stokes system which improve the previous results. In addition, initial vacuum states are allowed in our cases.

Stability of Rarefaction Waves to the 1D Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations with Density-dependent Viscosity

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
In this talk, we will present some recent results about the asymptotic stability of rarefaction waves for the compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity. Both cases will be dicussed. One is that the rarefaction waves do not include vacuum. The other is that the rarefaction waves contact with vacuum. The theory holds for large-amplitudes rarefaction waves and arbitrary initial perturbations. This is joint with Yi Wang and Zhouping Xin.

A Variational Approximation of a Mumford-Shah functional in codimension 2

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
After a brief introduction of the concepts of Distributional Jacobians, we will define a Mumford-Shah energy for vector valued maps that generalizes the classical one. We will then introduce a family of approximating energy and prove a Gamma-convergence result, in the spirit of the previous works by Ambrosio and Tortorelli.

Explosion des solutions regulières de l'équation des ondes énergie-critique

Abstract: (Hide abstracts)
Dans cette présentation, on s'intéressera aux propriétés qualitatives des solutions régulières de l'équation des ondes semilineaire H^1-critique. Il est connu, notamment depuis les résultats obtenus par C. Kenig et F. Merle [Acta Mathematica, 2008], que la famille des minimiseurs de l'injection de H^1 dans L^{2^*} joue un role particulier dans la caractérisation des données initiales dont les solutions fortes associées explosent en temps fini. Je présenterai un résultat obtenu en collaboration avec P. Raphael sur le comportement des solutions de l'équation des ondes H^1-critique au voisinage de ces minimiseurs en dimension 4.
