International audience; In this short paper we prove that the almost Schur theorem, introduced by De Lellis and Topping, is true on 4-dimensional Riemannian manifolds of nonnegative scalar curvature and discuss some related problems on other dimensional manifolds.

In this paper we study the geodesic flow for a particular class of Riemannian non-compact manifolds with variable pinched negative sectional curvature. For a sequence of invariant measures we are able to prove results relating the loss of mass and bounds on the measure entropies. We compute the entropy contribution of the cusps. We develop and study the corresponding thermodynamic formalism. We obtain certain regularity results for the pressure of a class of potentials. We prove that the pressure is real analytic until it undergoes a phase transition, after which it becomes constant. Our techniques are based on the one side on symbolic methods and Markov partitions and on the other on geometric techniques and approximation properties at level of groups., 34 pages, 4 figures. In this new version we have improved the organization of the paper and the clarity of some statements

In this paper, we analyze the behavior of viscous shock profiles of one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a singular pressure law which encodes the effects of congestion. As the intensity of the singular pressure tends to 0, we show the convergence of these profiles towards free-congested traveling front solutions of a two-phase compressible-incompressible Navier-Stokes system and we provide a refined description of the profiles in the vicinity of the transition between the free domain and the congested domain. In the second part of the paper, we prove that the profiles are asymptotically nonlinearly stable under small perturbations with zero integral, and we quantify the size of the admissible perturbations in terms of the intensity of the singular pressure., Communications in Mathematical Sciences, International Press, In press

International audience; We show that an order antimorphism on a finite-dimensional cone having no one-dimensional factors is homogeneous of degree −1. A consequence is that the existence of an order antimorphism on a finite-dimensional cone implies that the cone is a symmetric cone.

In this paper, we define, a priori, a natural two-dimensional model for a time-dependent flexural shell. As expected, this model takes the form of a set of hyperbolic variational equations posed over the space of admissible linearized inextensional displacements, and a set of initial conditions. Using a classical argument, we prove that the model under consideration admits a unique strong solution. However, the latter strategy makes use of function spaces, which are not amenable for numerically approximating the solution. We thus provide an alternate formulation of the studied problem using a suitable penalty scheme, which is more suitable in the context of numerical approximations. For the sake of completeness, in the final part of the paper, we also provide an existence and uniqueness theorem for the case where the linearly elastic shell under consideration is an elliptic membrane shell.

In a recent paper by Cantrell et al. [9], two-component KPP systems with competition of Lotka–Volterra type were analyzed and their long-time behaviour largely settled. In particular, the authors established that any constant positive steady state, if unique, is necessarily globally attractive. In the present paper, we give an explicit and biologically very natural example of oscillatory three-component system. Using elementary techniques or pre-established theorems, we show that it has a unique constant positive steady state with two-dimensional unstable manifold, a stable limit cycle, a predator–prey structure near the steady state, periodic wave trains and point-to-periodic rapid travelling waves. Numerically, we also show the existence of pulsating fronts and propagating terraces.

International audience; In this paper, we consider a vibrating system of Timoshenko-type in a bounded one-dimensional domain with discrete time delay and complementary frictional damping and infinite memory controls all acting on the transversal displacement. We show that the system is well-posed in the sens of semigroup and that, under appropriate assumptions on the weights of the delay and the history data, the stability of the system holds in case of the equal-speed propagation as well as in the opposite case in spite of the presence of a discrete time delay, where the decay rate of solutions is given in terms of the smoothness of the initial data and the growth of the relaxation kernel at infinity. The results of this paper extend the ones obtained by the present author and Messaoudi in (Acta Math Sci 36:1–33, 2016) to the case of presence of discrete delay.

27 pages. This is the third and final part of the series of 3 publications stemming from the preprint arXiv:1312.3161; International audience; In the third paper of the series we complete the proof of our main result: a description of the ergodic decomposition of infinite Pickrell measures. We first prove that the scaling limit of the determinantal measures corresponding to the radial parts of Pickrell measures is precisely the infinite Bessel process introduced in the first paper of the series. We prove that the `Gaussian parameter' for ergodic components vanishes almost surely. To do this, we associate a finite measure with each configuration and establish convergence to the scaling limit in the space of finite measures on the space of finite measures. We finally prove that the Pickrell measures corresponding to different values of the parameter are mutually singular.

This is an expository paper on the theory of gradient flows, and in particular of those PDEs which can be interpreted as gradient flows for the Wasserstein metric on the space of probability measures (a distance induced by optimal transport). The starting point is the Euclidean theory, and then its generalization to metric spaces, according to the work of Ambrosio, Gigli and Savar{\'e}. Then comes an independent exposition of the Wasserstein theory, with a short introduction to the optimal transport tools that are needed and to the notion of geodesic convexity, followed by a precise desciption of the Jordan-Kinderleher-Otto scheme, with proof of convergence in the easiest case: the linear Fokker-Planck equation. A discussion of other gradient flows PDEs and of numerical methods based on these ideas is also provided. The paper ends with a new, theoretical, development, due to Ambrosio, Gigli, Savar{\'e}, Kuwada and Ohta: the study of the heat flow in metric measure spaces.

We show that the Teichmuller space of a surface without boundary and with punctures, equipped with the Thurston metric, is the limit in an appropriate sense of Teichmuller spaces of surfaces with boundary, equipped with their arc metrics, when the boundary lengths tend to zero. We use this to obtain a result on the translation distances of mapping classes for their actions on Teichmuller spaces equipped with the Thurston metric. In this paper, we show that the arc metrics on the Teichmuller space of surfaces with boundary limit to the Thurston metric on the Teichmuller space of a surface without boundary, by making the boundary lengths tend to zero. We use this to prove a result on the translation distances for mapping classes. We introduce some notation before stating precisely the results. In all this paper, S = Sg,p,n is a connected orientable surface of finite type, of genus g with p punctures and n boundary components. We assume that S has negative Euler characteristic, i.e., χ(S) = 2 − 2g − p − n 0, we denote by ∂S the boundary of S. A hyperbolic structure on S is a complete metric of constant curvature −1 such that (i) each puncture has a neighborhood isometric to a cusp, i.e., to the quotient {z = x + iy ∈ H 2 | y > a}/hz 7→z + 1i

In this paper, we revisit the analyses of Antonie Stern (1925) and Hans Lewy (1977) devoted to the construction of spherical harmonics with two or three nodal domains. Our method yields sharp quantitative results and a better understanding of the occurrence of bifurcations in the families of nodal sets.This paper is a natural continuation of our critical reading of A. Stern's results for Dirichlet eigenfunctions in the square, see arXiv:14026054., Comment: Accepted for publication in "Monatshefte f{\"u}r Mathematik"

International audience; This paper is about surfaces of infinite topological type. Unlike the case of surfaces of finite type, there are several deformation spaces associated with a surface of infinite topological type. Such spaces depend on the choice of a basepoint (that is, the choice of a fixed conformal structure or hyperbolic structure on the surface) and they also depend on the choice of a distance on the set of equivalence classes of marked hyperbolic structures. We address the question of the comparison between two deformation spaces, namely, the quasiconformal Teichmüller space and the length-spectrum Teichmüller space. There is a natural inclusion map of the quasiconformal space into the length-spectrum space, which is not always surjective.We work under the hypothesis that the basepoint (a hyperbolic surface) satisfies a condition we call ``upper-boundedness''. This means that this surface admits a pants decomposition defined by curves whose lengths are bounded above. The theory under this upper-boundedness hypothesis shows a dichotomy. On the one hand there are surfaces satisfying what we call Shiga's condition, i.e. they admit a pants decomposition defined by curves whose lengths are bounded above and below. If the base point satisfies Shiga's condition, then the inclusion of the quasiconformal space into the length-spectrum space is surjective, and it is a homeomorphism. In this paper we concentrate on the other kind of upper-bounded surfaces, which we call ``upper-bounded with short interior curves''. This means that the corresponding hyperbolic surface admits a pants decomposition defined by curves whose lengths are bounded above, and such that the lenghts of some interior curves approach zero. We show that in this case the behavior is completely different. Under this hypothesis, the image of the inclusion between the two Teichmüller spaces is nowhere dense in the length-spectrum space. As a corollary of the methods used, we obtain an explicit parametrization of the length-spectrum Teichmüller space in terms of Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates and we prove that the length-spectrum Teichmüller space is path-connected.

In this paper, we propose the first estimate of some elastic parameters of the relaxed micromorphic model on the basis of real experiments of transmission of longitudinal plane waves across an interface separating a classical Cauchy material (steel plate) and a phononic crystal (steel plate with fluid-filled holes). A procedure is set up in order to identify the parameters of the relaxed micromorphic model by superimposing the experimentally based profile of the reflection coefficient (plotted as function of the wave-frequency) with the analogous profile obtained via numerical simulations. We determine five out of six constitutive parameters which are featured by the relaxed micromorphic model in the isotropic case, plus the determination of the micro-inertia parameter. The sixth elastic parameter, namely the Cosserat couple modulusμc, still remains undetermined, since experiments on transverse incident waves are not yet available. A fundamental result of this paper is the estimate of the non-locality intrinsically associated with the underlying microstructure of the metamaterial. We show that the characteristic lengthLcmeasuring the non-locality of the phononic crystal is of the order of13of the diameter of its fluid-filled holes.

In this paper, we obtain sharp Strichartz estimates for solutions of the wave equation $\square_\gg\phi=0$ where $\gg$ is a rough Lorentzian metric on a 4 dimensional space-time $\MM$. This is the last step of the proof of the bounded $L^2$ curvature conjecture proposed in [3], and solved by S. Klainerman, I. Rodnianski and the author in [8], which also relies on the sequence of papers [16][17][18][19]. Obtaining such estimates is at the core of the low regularity well-posedness theory for quasilinear wave equations. The difficulty is intimately connected to the regularity of the Eikonal equation $\gg^{\a\b}\pr_\a u\pr_\b u=0$ for a rough metric $\gg$. In order to be consistent with the final goal of proving the bounded $L^2$ curvature conjecture, we prove Strichartz estimates for all admissible Strichartz pairs under minimal regularity assumptions on the solutions of the Eikonal equation., Comment: 30 pages, 5 figures

International audience; We work on a low-order finite element approximation of the vorticity, velocity and pressure formulation of the bidimensional Stokes problem. In a previous paper, we have introduced the adequate space in which to look for the vorticity in order to have a well-posed problem. In this paper, we deal with the numerical approximation of this space, prove optimal convergence of the scheme and show numerical experiments in good accordance with the theory. We remark that despite one supplementary unknown(the vorticity), results of the scheme are much better than the ones obtained with the P1 plus bubble−P1 element in the velocity–pressure formulation.

This paper studies the space of $BV^2$ planar curves endowed with the $BV^2$ Finsler metric over its tangent space of displacement vector fields. Such a space is of interest for applications in image processing and computer vision because it enables piecewise regular curves that undergo piecewise regular deformations, such as articulations. The main contribution of this paper is the proof of the existence of a shortest path between any two $BV^2$ curves for this Finsler metric. % The method of proof relies on the construction of a martingale on a space satisfying the Radon-Nikodym property and on the invariance under reparametrization of the Finsler metric. This method applies more generally to similar cases such as the space of curves with $H^k$ metrics for $k\geq 2$ integer. When $k \geq 2$ is integer, this space has a strong Riemannian structure and is geodesically complete. Thus, our result shows that the exponential map is surjective, which is complementary to geodesic completeness in infinite dimensions. We propose a finite element discretization of the minimal geodesic problem, and use a gradient descent method to compute a stationary point of a regularized energy. Numerical illustrations shows the qualitative difference between $BV^2$ and $H^2$ geodesics.

This paper is devoted to the study of the low Mach number limit for the isentropic Euler system with axisymmetric initial data without swirl. In the first part of the paper we analyze the problem corresponding to the subcritical regularities, that is $H^s$ {with $s>\frac52$.} Taking advantage of the Strichartz estimates and using the special structure of the vorticity we show that the {lifespan $T_\epsilon$} of the solutions is bounded below by $\log\log\log\frac1\epsilon$, where $\epsilon$ denotes the Mach number. Moreover, we prove that the incompressible parts converge to the solution of the incompressible Euler system, when the parameter $\epsilon$ goes to zero. In the second part of the paper we address the same problem but for the Besov critical regularity $B_{2,1}^{\frac52}$. This case turns out to be more subtle at least due to two facts. The first one is related to the Beale-Kato-Majda criterion which is not known to be valid for rough regularities. The second one concerns the critical aspect of the Strichartz estimate $L^1_TL^\infty$ for the acoustic parts $(\nabla\Delta^{-1}\diver\vepsilon,\cepsilon)$: it scales in the space variables like the space of the initial data., Comment: 47 pages

The present paper introduces an efficient and accurate numerical scheme for the solution of a highly anisotropic elliptic equation, the anisotropy direction being given by a variable vector field. This scheme is based on an asymptotic preserving reformulation of the original system, permitting an accurate resolution independently of the anisotropy strength and without the need of a mesh adapted to this anisotropy. The counterpart of this original procedure is the larger system size, enlarged by adding auxiliary variables and Lagrange multipliers. This Asymptotic-Preserving method generalizes the method investigated in a previous paper [arXiv:0903.4984v2] to the case of an arbitrary anisotropy direction field.

We prove that in the Wasserstein space built over R the subset of measures that does not charge the non-differentiability set of convex functions is not displacement convex. This completes the study of Gigli on the geometric structure of measures meeting the sharp hypothesis of the refined version of Brenier’s Theorem. Optimal transport is nowadays a central tool in many fields of analysis, differential geometry and probability theory (see e.g. the books by Villani [11, 12]). It takes its origin in the problem of Monge, asking for the shortest way to displace an amount of soil from one place of the Euclidean space to a heap of soil at another place. This problem induces a very natural distance between probability measures – the Wasserstein distance – where the measures represent the heaps of soil. Wasserstein distance is somewhat complementary with the Lebesgue L norms because it corresponds to an “horizontal” displacement: in first approximation, for two localized probability measures on R, the Wasserstein distance is the distance between their barycenters. Brenier’s Theorem [4] on monotone rearrangement of maps of R has become the very core of the theory of optimal transport. It gives a representation of the optimal transport map in term of gradient of convex functions. A very enlightening heuristic on (P2(R ),W2) is proposed in [7] where it appears with an infinite differential structure and the Wasserstein distance is seen as a Riemannian-like distance. This point of view has raised a lot of developments, among which the gradient flow theory presented in [2]. In [6], Gigli explores the Riemannian-like structure and proposes to think of the measures meeting the hypothesis of a refined version of Brenier’s Theorem as the regular points of the Wasserstein space. In this paper we show that the set of those transport-regular measures is not geodesically convex (Theorems 2.2 and 2.5). It is quite surprising because it is well-known that the subset made of absolutely continuous measures (the most notorious transport-regular measures) is geodesically convex. It answers a question suggested by Gigli [6, Remark 2.12]. The paper is built as follows: we first recall some main results on the quadratic Monge(-Kantorovich) problem. The key idea of our result can be found in Lemma 1.6 while Proposition 1.8 gives a way, together with Proposition 1.7, to characterize transport-regular measures. In the second (and last) part, we prove the main theorem (Theorem 2.2) and its generalization (Theorem 2.5) thanks to explicit constructions. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 28A75.

In this paper we consider the following Timoshenko system: in (0, L) × ℝ + {ρ 1 ϕ tt -k 1 (ϕ x +ψ) x =0 ρ 2 ψ tt - k 2 ψ xx + ∫ t 0 g(t - τ)(a(x)ψ x (τ)) x dτ+k 1 (ϕ x + ψ) + b(x)h(ψ t ) =0 in (0, L) × ℝ + with Dirichlet boundary conditions and initial data where a, b, g and h are specific functions and ρ 1 , ρ 2 , κ 1 , κ 2 and L are given positive constants. We establish a general stability estimate using the multiplier method and some properties of convex functions. Without imposing any growth condition on h at the origin, we show that the energy of the system is bounded above by a quantity, depending on g and h, which tends to zero as time goes to infinity. Our estimate allows us to consider a large class of functions h with general growth at the origin. We use some examples (known in the case of wave equations and Maxwell system) to show how to derive from our general estimate the polynomial, exponential or logarithmic decay. The results of this paper improve and generalize some existing results in the literature and generate some interesting open problems.

In this paper we deal with the following family of exponential maps $(f_\lambda:z\mapsto \lambda(e^z-1))_{\lambda\in [1,+\infty)}$. Denoting $d(\lambda)$ the hyperbolic dimension of $f_\lambda$. It is known that the function $\lambda\mapsto d(\lambda)$ is real analytic in $(1,+\infty)$, and that it is continuous in $[1,+\infty)$. In this paper we prove that this map is C$^1$ on $[1,+\infty)$, with $d'(1^+)=0$. Moreover, depending on the value of $d(1)$, we give estimates of the speed of convergence towards 0., Comment: 32 pages. A para\^itre dans Annales Academi{\ae} Scientiarum Fennic{\ae} Mathematica

In this paper, we deal with controllability properties of linear and nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries equations in a bounded interval. The main part of this paper is a result of uniform controllability of a linear KdV equation in the limit of zero-dispersion. Moreover, we establish a result of null controllability for the linear equation via the left Dirichlet boundary condition, and of exact controllability via both Dirichlet boundary conditions. As a consequence, we obtain some local exact controllability results for the nonlinear KdV equation.

International audience; In this paper, it is proposed to model the adhesive bonding of elastic bodies, taking into account a non convex (piecewise quadratic) strain energy density for the adhesive material. In the ¯rst part of the paper, asymptotic expansions are used to study the asymptotic behavior of the adhesive. In the second part, we study in detail the example of a bar consisting of two elastic bodies, giving linear stress-strain relations, separated by an adhesive layer, the extremities of which undergo a given displacement. The stability and the metastability of the equilibrium configurations are then discussed. Lastly, the limit problem, where the pair thickness and stiffness of the glue tend to zero, is studied.

International audience; This paper is devoted to a spectral description of wave propagation phenomena in conservative unbounded media, or, more precisely, the fact that a time-dependent wave can often be represented by a continuous superposition of time-harmonic waves. We are concerned here with the question of the perturbation of such a generalized eigenfunction expansion in the context of scattering problems: if such a property holds for a free situation, i.e. an unperturbed propagative medium, what does it become under perturbation, i.e. in the presence of scatterers? The question has been widely studied in many particular situations. The aim of this paper is to collect some of them in an abstract framework and exhibit sufficient conditions for a perturbation result. We investigate the physical meaning of these conditions which essentially consist in, on the one hand, a stable limiting absorption principle for the free problem, and on the other hand, a compactness (or short-range) property of the perturbed problem. This approach is illustrated by the scattering of linear water waves by a floating body. The above properties are obtained with the help of integral representations, which allow us to deduce the asymptotic behaviour of time-harmonic waves from that of the Green function of the free problem. The results are not new: the main improvement lies in the structure of the proof, which clearly distinguishes the properties related to the free problem from those which involve the perturbation. © 2007 The Royal Society of Edinburgh.

National audience; This paper is devoted to the study of the internal stabilization of the Bernoulli-Euler plate equation in a square. The continuous and the space semi-discretizated problems are successively considered and analyzed using a frequency domain approach. For the infinite dimensional problem, we provide a new proof of the exponential stability result, based on a two dimensional Ingham's type result. In the second and main part of the paper, we propose a finite difference space semi-discretization scheme and we prove that this scheme yields a uniform exponential decay rate (with respect to the mesh size).

International audience; In this paper we study the pseudo-spectra of the rotated harmonic oscillator. The pseudo-spectra of an operator are subsets in the complex plane which describe where the resolvent is large in norm. The study of such subsets allows us to understand the stability of the spectrum under perturbations and the possible calculation of 'false eigenvalues' far from the spectrum by algorithms for computing eigenvalues. The rotated harmonic oscillator is the simplest classic non-self-adjoint quadratic Hamiltonian, which has already been studied by Davies and Boulton. In one of his works, Boulton states a conjecture about the pseudo-spectra of this operator, which describes the instabilities for high energies. We can deduce this conjecture from a study of Dencker, Sjostrand and Zworski, which gives bounds on the resolvent for a semi-classical pseudo-differential operator in a very general setting. In the present paper, we give a more elementary proof of this result using only some non-trivial localization scheme in the frequency variable.

13 pages, a4 paper, no figures, some references and an appendix added. To appear in Rendiconti Lincei: Matematica e Applicazioni.; This note concerns the final time observability inequality from an interior region for the heat semigroup, which is equivalent to the null-controllability of the heat equation by a square integrable source supported in this region. It focuses on exponential estimates in short times of the observability cost, also known as the control cost and the minimal energy function. It proves that this final time observability inequality implies four variants (an integrated inequality with singular weights, an integrated inequality in infinite times, a sharper inequality and a Sobolev inequality) with roughly the same exponential rate everywhere and some control cost estimates with explicit exponential rates concerning null-controllability, null-reachability and approximate controllability. A conjecture and open problems about the optimal rate are stated. This note also contains a brief review of recent or to be published papers related to exponential observability estimates: boundary observability, Schrödinger group, anomalous diffusion, thermoelastic plates, plates with square root damping and other elastic systems with structural damping.

This paper is devoted to the study of multi-dimensional travelling wave solution for a thermo-diffusive model, describing the propagation of curved flames in an infinite cylinder. The linear dependence of the components of the reaction rate together with the existence of an ignition temperature ensure that the corresponding linearized operator does not satisfy the Fredholm property. A direct consequence is that solvability conditions for the linearized operator are not known and classical methods of nonlinear analysis cannot be directly applied. We prove in this paper existence results of such travelling waves, by first introducing a suitable re-formulation of the equations and then by choosing suitable weighted spaces that allows us to move the essential spectrum away from zero.

Summarization: In this paper, we extend reduced-basis output bound methods developed earlier for elliptic problems, to problems described by ‘parameterized parabolic’ partial differential equations. The essential new ingredient and the novelty of this paper consist in the presence of time in the formulation and solution of the problem. First, without assuming a time discretization, a reduced-basis procedure is presented to ‘efficiently’ compute accurate approximations to the solution of the parabolic problem and ‘relevant’ outputs of interest. In addition, we develop an error estimation procedure to ‘a posteriori validate’ the accuracy of our output predictions. Second, using the discontinuous Galerkin method for the temporal discretization, the reduced-basis method and the output bound procedure are analysed for the semi-discrete case. In both cases the reduced-basis is constructed by taking ‘snapshots’ of the solution both in time and in the parameters: in that sense the method is close to Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD).

International audience; In this paper, the mathematical tools, which are required to solve the axisymmetric Maxwell equations, are presented. An in-depth study of the problems posed in the meridian half-plane, numerical algorithms, as well as numerical experiments, based on the implementation of the theory described hereafter, shall be presented in forthcoming papers. In the present paper, the attention is focused on the (orthogonal) splitting of the electromagnetic field in a regular part and a singular part, the former being in the Sobolev space H-1 component-wise. It is proven that the singular fields are related to singularities of Laplace-like operators, and, as a consequence, that the space of singular fields is finite dimensional.

In this paper, we prove the local null controllability property for a nonlinear coupled system of two Korteweg–de Vries equations posed on a bounded interval and with a source term decaying exponentially on [Formula: see text]. The system was introduced by Gear and Grimshaw to model the interactions of two-dimensional, long, internal gravity waves propagation in a stratified fluid. We address the controllability problem by means of a control supported on an interior open subset of the domain and acting on one equation only. The proof consists mainly on proving the controllability of the linearized system, which is done by getting a Carleman estimate for the adjoint system. While doing the Carleman, we improve the techniques for dealing with the fact that the solutions of dispersive and parabolic equations with a source term in [Formula: see text] have a limited regularity. A local inversion theorem is applied to get the result for the nonlinear system.

In this paper, we consider an Euler-Bernoulli beam equation with time-varying internal fluid. We assume that the fluid is moving with non-constant velocity and dynamical boundary conditions are satisfied. We prove the existence and uniqueness of global solution under suitable assumptions on the tension of beam and on the parameters of the problem. Afterwards, we establish the exponential stability of the solution by introducing a suitable Lyapunov functional., 15 pages, 1 figure

International audience; This paper shows how the classical representation techniques for the solution of elasticity problems, based on the Green's functions, can be generalized to second-gradient continua focusing on the specific case of pantographic lattices. As these last are strongly anisotropic, the fundamental solutions of isotropic second-gradient continua involving bi-Helmholtztype operators are not applicable. More specifically we establish the analytical fundamental solution for the linearized equations governing the equilibrium of pantographic 2D continua in the neighbourhood of the reference configuration. Moreover, by means of found novel Green's functions, it is shown that it is possible to solve aforesaid equilibrium equations by using Fredholm integral equations. It is seen that an approximated analytical solution for the standard bias test for pantographic 2D continua can be found by using judiciously the found analytical fundamental solutions. The micro-macroasymptotic identification allows for a clear and satisfactory physical interpretation of the obtained analytical results.

We give normal forms for generic k-dimensional parametric families $(Z_\varepsilon)_\varepsilon$ of germs of holomorphic vector fields near $0\in\mathbb{C}^2$ unfolding a saddle-node singularity $Z_0$, under the condition that there exists a family of invariant analytic curves unfolding the weak separatrix of $Z_0$. These normal forms provide a moduli space for these parametric families. In our former 2008 paper, a modulus of a family was given as the unfolding of the Martinet-Ramis modulus, but the realization part was missing. We solve the realization problem in that partial case and show the equivalence between the two presentations of the moduli space. Finally, we completely characterize the families which have a modulus depending analytically on the parameter. We provide an application of the result in the field of non-linear, parameterized differential Galois theory., Annales Scientifiques de l'{\'E}cole Normale Sup{\'e}rieure, Elsevier Masson, In press

In this paper we prove a convergence result for a discretization of the three-dimensional stationary compressible Navier–Stokes equations assuming an ideal gas pressure law $p(\rho )=a \rho ^{\gamma }$ with $\gamma> \frac{3}{2}$. It is the first convergence result for a numerical method with adiabatic exponents $\gamma $ less than $3$ when the space dimension is 3. The considered numerical scheme combines finite volume techniques for the convection with the Crouzeix–Raviart finite element for the diffusion. A linearized version of the scheme is implemented in the industrial software CALIF3S developed by the French Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire.

International audience; In this paper we present a derivation of a back-scatter rotational Large Eddy Simulation model, which is the extension of the Baldwin and Lomax model to non-equilibrium problems. The model is particularly designed to mathematically describe a fluid filling a domain with solid walls and consequently the differential operators appearing in the smoothing terms are degenerate at the boundary. After the derivation of the model, we prove some of the mathematical properties coming from the weighted energy estimates and which allow to prove existence and uniqueness of a class of regular weak solutions.

In this paper we prove a regularity and rigidity result for displacements in$$GSBD^p$$GSBDp, for every$$p>1$$p>1and any dimension$$n\ge 2$$n≥2. We show that a displacement in$$GSBD^p$$GSBDpwith a small jump set coincides with a$$W^{1,p}$$W1,pfunction, up to a small set whose perimeter and volume are controlled by the size of the jump. This generalises to higher dimension a result of Conti, Focardi and Iurlano. A consequence of this is that such displacements satisfy, up to a small set, Poincaré-Korn and Korn inequalities. As an application, we deduce an approximation result which implies the existence of the approximate gradient for displacements in$$GSBD^p$$GSBDp.

The existence of weak solutions to the Navier–Stokes–Fourier system describing the stationary states of a compressible, viscous, and heat conducting fluid in bounded 2 D -domains is shown under fairly general and physically relevant constitutive relations. The equation of state of a real fluid is considered, where the admissible range of density is confined to a bounded interval (hard sphere model). The transport coefficients depend on the temperature in a general way including both gases and liquids behavior. The heart of the paper are new a priori bounds resulting from Trudinger–Moser inequality.

International audience; In this paper, we investigate the existence of solutions to a nonlinear parabolic system, which couples a non-homogeneous reaction-diffusion-type equation and a non-homogeneous viscous Hamilton-Jacobi one. The initial data and right-hand sides satisfy suitable integrability conditions and non-negative. In order to simplify the presentation of our results, we will consider separately two simplified models : first, vanishing initial data, and then, vanishing right-hand sides.

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of minimizing solutions of a Ginzburg&ndash, Landau type functional with a positive weight and with convex potential near 0 and we estimate the energy in this case. We also generalize a lower bound for the energy of unit vector field given initially by Brezis&ndash, Merle&ndash, Rivi&egrave, re.

In this paper, global-in-time existence and blow-up results are shown for a reaction-diffusion equation appearing in the theory of aggregation phenomena (including chemotaxis). Properties of the corresponding steady-state problem are also presented. Moreover, the stability around constant equilibria and the non-existence of nonconstant solutions are studied in certain cases.

This paper gives a direct proof of localization of dual norms of bounded linear functionals on the Sobolev space ${W^{1,p}_0(\varOmega )}$, $1 \leq p \leq \infty $. The basic condition is that the functional in question vanishes over locally supported test functions from ${W^{1,p}_0(\varOmega )}$ which form a partition of unity in $\varOmega $, apart from close to the boundary $\partial \varOmega $. We also study how to weaken this condition. The results allow in particular to establish local efficiency and robustness with respect to the exponent $p$ of a posteriori estimates for nonlinear partial differential equations in divergence form, including the case of inexact solvers. Numerical illustrations support the theory.

The paper proves existence of renormalized solutions for a class of velocity-discrete coplanar stationary Boltzmann equations with given indata. The proof is based on the construction of a sequence of approximations with L1 compactness for an integrated collision frequency and gain term. The compactness is obtained using the Kolmogorov Riesz theorem., Comment: to appear in Communications in Mathematical Sciences

International audience; In this paper, we propose a combined finite volume-finite element scheme, for the resolution of a specific low-Mach model expressed in the velocity, pressure and temperature variables. The dynamic viscosity of the fluid is given by an explicit function of the temperature, leading to the presence of a so-called Joule term in the mass conservation equation. First, we prove a discrete maximum principle for the temperature. Second, the numerical fluxes defined for the finite volume computation of the temperature are efficiently derived from the discrete finite element velocity field obtained by the resolution of the momentum equation. Several numerical tests are presented to illustrate our theoretical results and to underline the efficiency of the scheme in term of convergence rates.

International audience; In this paper we consider existence and uniqueness of the three-dimensional static boundary-value problems in the framework of so-called gradient-incomplete strain-gradient elasticity. We call the strain-gradient elasticity model gradient-incomplete such model where the considered strain energy density depends on displacements and only on some specific partial derivatives of displacements of first-and second-order. Such models appear as a result of homogenization of pantographic beam lattices and in some physical models. Using anisotropic Sobolev spaces we analyze the mathematical properties of weak solutions. Null-energy solutions are discussed.

International audience; Stability criteria have been derived and investigated in the last decades for many kinds of periodic traveling wave solutions to Hamiltonian PDEs. They turned out to depend in a crucial way on the negative signature - or Morse index - of the Hessian matrix of action integrals associated with those waves. In a previous paper (published in Nonlinearity in 2016), the authors addressed the characterization of stability of periodic waves for a rather large class of Hamiltonian partial differential equations that includes quasilinear generalizations of the Korteweg–de Vries equation and dispersive perturbations of the Euler equations for compressible fluids, either in Lagrangian or in Eulerian coordinates. They derived a sufficient condition for orbital stability with respect to co-periodic perturbations, and a necessary condition for spectral stability, both in terms of the negative signature of the Hessian matrix of the action integral. Here the asymptotic behavior of this matrix is investigated in two asymptotic regimes, namely for small amplitude waves and for waves approaching a solitary wave as their wavelength goes to infinity. The special structure of the matrices involved in the expansions makes possible to actually compute the negative signature of the action Hessian both in the harmonic limit and in the soliton limit. As a consequence, it is found that nondegenerate small amplitude waves are orbitally stable with respect to co-periodic perturbations in this framework. For waves of long wavelength, the negative signature of the action Hessian is found to be exactly governed by M''(c), the second derivative with respect to the wave speed of the Boussinesq momentum associated with the limiting solitary wave. This gives an alternate proof of Gardner's result [J. Reine Angew. Math. 1997] according to which the instability of the limiting solitary wave, when M''(c) is negative, implies the instability of nearby periodic waves. Interestingly enough, it is found here that in the inverse situation, when M''(c) is positive, nearby periodic waves are orbitally stable with respect to co-periodic perturbations.

International audience; In this paper, we consider a linear one-dimensional Bresse system consisting of three hyperbolic equations coupled in a certain manner under mixed homogeneous Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. Here, we consider that only the longitudinal displacement is damped, and the vertical displacement and shear angle displacement are free. We prove the well-posedness of the system and some exponential, lack of exponential and polynomial stability results depending on the coefficients of the equations and the smoothness of initial data. At the end, we use some numerical approximations based on finite difference techniques to validate the theoretical results. The proof is based on the semigroup theory and a combination of the energy method and the frequency domain approach.

In this paper, we investigate the distribution of the maximum of partial sums of certain cubic exponential sums, commonly known as "Birch sums". Our main theorem gives upper and lower bounds (of nearly the same order of magnitude) for the distribution of large values of this maximum, that hold in a wide uniform range. This improves a recent result of Kowalski and Sawin. The proofs use a blend of probabilistic methods, harmonic analysis techniques, and deep tools from algebraic geometry. The results can also be generalized to other types of $\ell$-adic trace functions. In particular, the lower bound of our result also holds for partial sums of Kloosterman sums. As an application, we show that there exist $x\in [1, p]$ and $a\in \mathbb{F}_p^{\times}$ such that $|\sum_{n\leq x} \exp(2\pi i (n^3+an)/p)|\ge (2/\pi+o(1)) \sqrt{p}\log\log p$. The uniformity of our results suggests that this bound is optimal, up to the value of the constant., Comment: 28 pages

International audience; In this paper, we first prove the global well-posedness of a scaled anisotropic Navier-Stokes system and the hydrostatic Navier-Stokes system in a 2-D striped domain with small analytic data in the tangential variable. Then we justify the limit from the anisotropic Navier-Stokes system to the hydrostatic Navier-Stokes system with analytic data.

The paper is dedicated to the investigation of simultaneous homogenization and dimension reduction of textile structures as elasticity problem with an energy in the von-K{\'a}rm{\'a}n-regime. An extension for deformations is presented allowing to use the decomposition of plate-displacements. The limit problem in terms of displacements is derived with the help of the unfolding operator and yields in the limit the von-K{\'a}rm{\'a}n plate with linear elastic cell-problems. It is shown, that for homogeneous isotropic beams in the structure, the resulting plate is orthotropic. As application of the obtained limit plate we study the buckling behavior of orthotropic textiles.
