Multiplicity of polynomials on trajectories of polynomial vector fields in C 3

Andrei Gabrielov, Frédéric Jean, Jean-Jacques Risler (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Let ξ be a polynomial vector field on n with coefficients of degree d and P be a polynomial of degree p. We are interested in bounding the multiplicity of a zero of a restriction of P to a non-singular trajectory of ξ, when P does not vanish identically on this trajectory. Bounds doubly exponential in terms of n are already known ([9,5,10]). In this paper, we prove that, when n=3, there is a bound of the form p + 2 p ( p + d - 1 ) 2 . In Control Theory, such a bound can be used to give an estimate of the degree of nonholonomy...

Multiscale modelling of sound propagation through the lung parenchyma

Paul Cazeaux, Jan S. Hesthaven (2014)

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

In this paper we develop and study numerically a model to describe some aspects of sound propagation in the human lung, considered as a deformable and viscoelastic porous medium (the parenchyma) with millions of alveoli filled with air. Transmission of sound through the lung above 1 kHz is known to be highly frequency-dependent. We pursue the key idea that the viscoelastic parenchyma structure is highly heterogeneous on the small scale ε and use two-scale homogenization techniques to derive effective...
