On Tartar's conjecture
Let be a real inner product space of any dimension; and let be a -map relating any two tensor spaces on . We study the consequences imposed on the form of this function by the condition that its gradient should be skew-symmetric with respect to some pairs of indexes. Any such a condition is written as a system of linear partial differential equations, with constant coefficients, which is symmetric with respect to certain couples of independent variables. The solutions of these systems appear...
The paper deals with the description of a model which is the synthesis of two classical models, the Lotka-Volterra and McKendrick-von Foerster models. The existence and uniqueness of the solution for the new population problem are proved, as well the asymptotic periodicity but under some simplifying assumptions.
In this work, we investigate the Perfectly Matched Layers (PML) introduced by Bérenger [3] for designing efficient numerical absorbing layers in electromagnetism. We make a mathematical analysis of this model, first via a modal analysis with standard Fourier techniques, then via energy techniques. We obtain uniform in time stability results (that make precise some results known in the literature) and state some energy decay results that illustrate the absorbing properties of the model. This last...

This paper deals with the newly observed singularities of the solutions of some specific examples of weakly hyperbolic semilinear systems in R². Two, respectively three, characteristics are supposed to be mutually tangential at the origin only and the initial data are continuous only. The exact strength of the new-born singularities is investigated too.
