Applications of nonlinear diffusion in image processing and computer vision.
We discuss and exploit the Carathéodory theorem on existence and uniqueness of an absolutely continuous solution x: ℐ (⊂ ℝ) → X of a general ODE for the right-hand side ℱ : dom ℱ ( ⊂ ℝ × X) → X taking values in an arbitrary Banach space X, and a related result concerning an extension of x. We propose a definition of solvability of (*) admitting all connected ℐ and unifying the cases “dom ℱ is open” and “dom ℱ = ℐ × Ω for some Ω ⊂ X”. We show how to use the theorems mentioned above to get approximate...
On s’intéresse à des systèmes symétriques hyperboliques multidimensionnels en présence d’une semilinéarité. Il est bien connu que ces systèmes admettent des solutions discontinues, régulières de part et d’autre d’une hypersurface lisse caractéristique de multiplicité constante. Une telle solution étant donnée, on montre que est limite quand de solutions du système perturbé par une viscosité de taille . La preuve utilise un problème mixte parabolique et des développements de couches limites....
We consider the one dimensional semilinear reaction-diffusion equation, governed in Ω = (0,1) by controls, supported on any subinterval of (0, 1), which are the functions of time only. Using an asymptotic approach that we have previously introduced in [9], we show that such a system is approximately controllable at any time in both L2(0,1)( and C0[0,1], provided the nonlinear term f = f(x,t, u) grows at infinity no faster than certain power of log |u|. The latter depends on the regularity...
In this paper we analyse an approximate controllability result for a nonlinear population dynamics model. In this model the birth term is nonlocal and describes the recruitment process in newborn individuals population, and the control acts on a small open set of the domain and corresponds to an elimination or a supply of newborn individuals. In our proof we use a unique continuation property for the solution of the heat equation and the Kakutani-Fan-Glicksberg fixed point theorem.

We consider a linear model of interaction between a viscous incompressible fluid and a thin elastic structure located on a part of the fluid domain boundary, the other part being rigid. After having given an existence and uniqueness result for the direct problem, we study the question of approximate controllability for this system when the control acts as a normal force applied to the structure. The case of an analytic boundary has been studied by Lions and Zuazua in [9] where, in particular,...
