Image segmentation with a finite element method

Blaise Bourdin (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The Mumford-Shah functional for image segmentation is an original approach of the image segmentation problem, based on a minimal energy criterion. Its minimization can be seen as a free discontinuity problem and is based on Γ-convergence and bounded variation functions theories. Some new regularization results, make possible to imagine a finite element resolution method. In a first time, the Mumford-Shah functional is introduced and some existing results are quoted. Then, a discrete formulation...

Immersed boundary methods for the numerical simulation of incompressible aerodynamics and fluid-structure interactions

Nicolas James, Emmanuel Maitre, Iraj Mortazavi (2013)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

In this work three branches of Immersed Boundary Methods (IBM) are described and validated for incompressible aerodynamics and fluid-structure interactions. These three approaches are: Cut Cell method, Vortex-Penalization method and Forcing method. The first two techniques are validated for external bluff-body flow around a circular obstacle. The last one is used to predict the deformations of an elastic membrane immersed in a fluid. The paper confirms the ability of this family of numerical schemes...

Impact of the variations of the mixing length in a first order turbulent closure system

Françoise Brossier, Roger Lewandowski (2002)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

This paper is devoted to the study of a turbulent circulation model. Equations are derived from the “Navier-Stokes turbulent kinetic energy” system. Some simplifications are performed but attention is focused on non linearities linked to turbulent eddy viscosity ν t . The mixing length ℓ acts as a parameter which controls the turbulent part in ν t . The main theoretical results that we have obtained concern the uniqueness of the solution for bounded eddy viscosities and small values of ℓ and its asymptotic...

Implementation of optimal Galerkin and Collocation approximations of PDEs with Random Coefficients⋆⋆⋆

J. Beck, F. Nobile, L. Tamellini, R. Tempone (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

In this work we first focus on the Stochastic Galerkin approximation of the solution u of an elliptic stochastic PDE. We rely on sharp estimates for the decay of the coefficients of the spectral expansion of u on orthogonal polynomials to build a sequence of polynomial subspaces that features better convergence properties compared to standard polynomial subspaces such as Total Degree or Tensor Product. We consider then the Stochastic Collocation method, and use the previous estimates to introduce...

Implicit a posteriori error estimation using patch recovery techniques

Tamás Horváth, Ferenc Izsák (2012)

Open Mathematics

We develop implicit a posteriori error estimators for elliptic boundary value problems. Local problems are formulated for the error and the corresponding Neumann type boundary conditions are approximated using a new family of gradient averaging procedures. Convergence properties of the implicit error estimator are discussed independently of residual type error estimators, and this gives a freedom in the choice of boundary conditions. General assumptions are elaborated for the gradient averaging...

Implicit difference methods for nonlinear first order partial functional differential systems

Elżbieta Puźniakowska-Gałuch (2010)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Initial problems for nonlinear hyperbolic functional differential systems are considered. Classical solutions are approximated by solutions of suitable quasilinear systems of difference functional equations. The numerical methods used are difference schemes which are implicit with respect to the time variable. Theorems on convergence of difference schemes and error estimates of approximate solutions are presented. The proof of the stability is based on a comparison technique with nonlinear estimates...

Implicit difference methods for quasilinear parabolic functional differential problems of the Dirichlet type

K. Kropielnicka (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Classical solutions of quasilinear functional differential equations are approximated with solutions of implicit difference schemes. Proofs of convergence of the difference methods are based on a comparison technique. Nonlinear estimates of the Perron type with respect to the functional variable for given functions are used. Numerical examples are given.
