A kinetic formulation for multi-branch entropy solutions of scalar conservation laws
A la recherche du spectre perdu: An invitation to nonlinear spectral theory
We give a survey on spectra for various classes of nonlinear operators, with a particular emphasis on a comparison of their advantages and drawbacks. Here the most useful spectra are the asymptotic spectrum by M. Furi, M. Martelli and A. Vignoli (1978), the global spectrum by W. Feng (1997), and the local spectrum (called “phantom”) by P. Santucci and M. Väth (2000). In the last part we discuss these spectra for homogeneous operators (of any degree), and derive a discreteness result and a nonlinear...
A Lagrangian approach for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations
Here we investigate the Cauchy problem for the barotropic Navier-Stokes equations in , in the critical Besov spaces setting. We improve recent results as regards the uniqueness condition: initial velocities in critical Besov spaces with (not too) negative indices generate a unique local solution. Apart from (critical) regularity, the initial density just has to be bounded away from and to tend to some positive constant at infinity. Density-dependent viscosity coefficients may be considered. Using...
A Landesman-Lazer type condition and the long time behaviour of floating plates
A large data regime for nonlinear wave equations
We also exhibit a set of localized data for which the corresponding solutions are strongly focused, which in geometric terms means that a wave travels along an specific incoming null geodesic in such a way that almost all of the energy is concentrated in a tubular neighborhood of the geodesic and almost no energy radiates out of this neighborhood.
A lattice gas model for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equation
We recover the Navier–Stokes equation as the incompressible limit of a stochastic lattice gas in which particles are allowed to jump over a mesoscopic scale. The result holds in any dimension assuming the existence of a smooth solution of the Navier–Stokes equation in a fixed time interval. The proof does not use nongradient methods or the multi-scale analysis due to the long range jumps.
A least-squares method for the numerical solution of the Dirichlet problem for the elliptic monge − ampère equation in dimension two
We address in this article the computation of the convex solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the real elliptic Monge − Ampère equation for general convex domains in two dimensions. The method we discuss combines a least-squares formulation with a relaxation method. This approach leads to a sequence of Poisson − Dirichlet problems and another sequence of low dimensional algebraic eigenvalue problems of a new type. Mixed finite element approximations with a smoothing procedure are used for the...
A Legendre spectral collocation method for the biharmonic Dirichlet problem
A Legendre Spectral Collocation Method for the Biharmonic Dirichlet Problem
A Legendre spectral collocation method is presented for the solution of the biharmonic Dirichlet problem on a square. The solution and its Laplacian are approximated using the set of basis functions suggested by Shen, which are linear combinations of Legendre polynomials. A Schur complement approach is used to reduce the resulting linear system to one involving the approximation of the Laplacian of the solution on the two vertical sides of the square. The Schur complement system is solved by a...

A linear extrapolation method for a general phase relaxation problem
This paper examines a linear extrapolation time-discretization of a phase relaxation model with temperature dependent convection and reaction. The model consists of a diffusion-advection PDE for temperature and an ODE with double obstacle for phase variable. Under a stability constraint, this scheme is shown to converge with optimal orders for temperature and enthalpy, and for heat flux as time-step .
A linear mixed finite element scheme for a nematic Ericksen–Leslie liquid crystal model
In this work we study a fully discrete mixed scheme, based on continuous finite elements in space and a linear semi-implicit first-order integration in time, approximating an Ericksen–Leslie nematic liquid crystal model by means of a Ginzburg–Landau penalized problem. Conditional stability of this scheme is proved via a discrete version of the energy law satisfied by the continuous problem, and conditional convergence towards generalized Young measure-valued solutions to the Ericksen–Leslie problem...

A linear scheme to approximate nonlinear cross-diffusion systems*
This paper proposes a linear discrete-time scheme for general nonlinear cross-diffusion systems. The scheme can be regarded as an extension of a linear scheme based on the nonlinear Chernoff formula for the degenerate parabolic equations, which proposed by Berger et al. [RAIRO Anal. Numer.13 (1979) 297–312]. We analyze stability and convergence of the linear scheme. To this end, we apply the theory of reaction-diffusion system approximation. After discretizing the scheme in space, we obtain a versatile,...
